Is there any need to have two parties?

Look at it from this perspective. The Republicans make no bones about their sense of entitlement that they are born to rule.They will achieve this by slander, lies, stealing of elections, outright intimidation, disenfranchisement and any other low down dirty tricks that you can think of.

When they put facts on the ground like in Iraq, the Democrats line up asking meekly "Massa Bush, where do I sign?".They have not stood up for the interests of thw orking people for a long time, they have not attacked Republican policies on health care, Social Security, War, and you name it.

The question is why do we need to keep thinking change is possible within this framework?

1. Because it is possible.

It just takes our effort.

2. clearly

we no longer have a 2 party system. the dem party is merely the lewis to the GOP martin.



time for the "postal" party, IMO...

3. What framework would you like to see KlatooBNikto?

...

P.S.

I loved that movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still". In re-viewing it recently, I have noticed a certain rigidity and almost fascistic manner in the lead character, the spaceman Klaatu as played by Michael Rennie. Perhaps this is the way society ought to be run, highly rational, obedient with powerful robot slaves that are programmed with irreversible code to destroy any life forms which fall outside the norm. So much for spontaneous fucking!

5. Spontaneous fucking? What is that?

4. It would be nice to find out what a two party system was like.

Unfortunately, the way the deck is stacked in favor of the capitalists we are unlikely to find out.
