You can only vote on one answer.

Someone brought up "RINO's" (republicans in name only). This of course leads directly into DINO's, if you bring in the centrist factions of each, (the RIF's & DIF's..?) you could make four parties. This would absolutely open the door for the existing 3rd parties, Green and Gold. Add one spoiler and you could have a much more complex and dysfunctional federal government.

I believe this would be a benefit for all mankind!

Are two parties enough?

Are eight too many??

You decide!

DUN-DUN-DUnnnnnnnnn...

why not abolish the party system altogether. apparently all it does is cause dissension

GerOttman · 70-79, M

@Penny is that a vote for one party..?

Penny · 46-50, F

@GerOttman lol no. vote for no parties lol

GerOttman · 70-79, M

@Penny full anarchy, not a completely terrible ides!

Penny · 46-50, F

@GerOttman lol. not anarchy. individualism.

GerOttman · 70-79, M

@Penny technically that is anarchy..

Penny · 46-50, F

@GerOttman only if its allowed to happen lol. and i dont exactly thin kthat no political parties spells anarchy. though honestly i think there's like a hint of anarchy with them lol

GerOttman · 70-79, M

@Penny anarchy as a political system was a popular concept many years ago. it means no government at all. people just have to get along on their own, more or less.

Penny · 46-50, F

@GerOttman well, i am definitely not suggesting that

Really · 80-89, M

@Penny No parties; all independent members free of anyone else's ideology. I've thought about that a lot, not in connection with the USA but in general and for my own country. There are arguments against it but I think it could work, and could be much better than any system I've seen.

@Really kind of a John Lennon vibe going on there!

Really · 80-89, M

@GerOttman

technically that is anarchy

Literally that's semantics

GerOttman · 70-79, M

@Really it's called google...

"Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is skeptical of all justifications for authority and seeks to abolish the institutions they claim maintain unnecessary coercion and hierarchy, typically including, though not necessarily limited to, the state and capitalism."

Really · 80-89, M

@GerOttman I know what Google is and it's riddled with baloney as I'm sure you know. You should be thoroughly skeptical when you go there, but like SW it's good for a few laughs; and I know what anarchy is, in general terms. None of which has any relevance to the ideas I'm throwing out - obviously onto stony ground.

GerOttman · 70-79, M

@Really yeahhh... I've been familiar with this concept for longer than google has been around. I'm an old guy, we used to have to use these things called 'books'. awful smelly heavy things! But I will willing acknowledge that you are the smartest man on the internet if it helps...

Really · 80-89, M

@GerOttman Thanks for your offer but I'm more selective about 'helpers'.

I read a lot, mostly non fiction. I was already reading at least 20 years before you were born (assuming you've posted your true age bracket)

'Bye now. I need someone sensible to talk to.

GerOttman · 70-79, M

@Really Sooo smart I mean really really smart!
