Is a Civil War brewing in the US?

But couldn't the two part system itself result in a civil war as the strife between them continues to grow?

On one side you have a party that wants to protect the rights of the wealthy over average citizens and that bases most of its decisions on a religion that was proven to be bunk in the mid 19th century.

And on the other hand you have a progressive thinking party that wants to help all people equally and that favors raising the rights and opportunities of the poor and disenfranchised to a point where they are equitable to those of everyone else in the society.

You can tell you are not from the US, and your generalizations are not only appalling, but are on the same level as the ignorant statements that you are trying to condemn.

Having a two party system sucks, but it is inevitable with our kind of elections, in which the third parties and further on have almost no benefit, or support, because of the winner take all electorate.

Your generalizations though need to stop. I am conservative, but that is just a label. I do not approve of every sentence on the Republican platform, and in all actuallity, I am more moderate than anything, like most Americans. It is usually just having that classification of liberal or conservative that pushes you to vote a certain way, or one issue pushing you more toward one side instead of the other. But your generalization is completely BS. Not all Republicans are bible hugging rich white men. Just like not all Democrats are socialist hippies. It works both ways.

So please, if you are going to debate, at least try to recognize the truth behind both sides instead of just accepting your own bias as fact, because its not. Its opinion.
