either way, the US is screwed. We need a tri-party system.

 

No, we need a no-party system. But I digress.

The chart is way, way too simplistic to base your preferences off of. It's also inaccurate in some places, such as putting down Obama for universal health care.

 

Only reason I said it was because 2 parties is not enough. I mean, 1 out of 3 ain't bad! 0 out of 2 is.

 

Political parties have a detrimental effect on our system in and of themselves.  When elected representatives feel compelled to toe the party line to get campaign money, that is a corrupting effect on the system.
