The two party duopoly
#6
RE: The two party duopoly
India has more than two parties and still has way more poverty than America. The issue isn't more choices, the issue is is either party effective? No, but it isn't the ideas of the dems, it is that dems are too empathetic with the idea of cooperation which the GOP blackmails them with which causes them to be pulled to the center and right.

Dems voter apathy in midterms also does not help. But our social pluralism and valuing livable wages are the right ideas. I am sick of this attitude that both parties are the same. You can only argue that dems politicians are not effective because they are dealing with a obstructionist party who values one class. The GOP basically takes advantage of us and we let them do that to us.

Democrats are on the right side of history economically and socially, in idea only. But we do most certainly suck at being effective and suck at voter turnout. If we got our act together, and thought daily and long term and planned like the GOP and stood up to them, we would get things done.
