Definitely. But it won't happen because neither party wants to lose elections. If one of the parties splits and the other doesn't it's gonna be a disaster. So people have to live with the fact that both parties will try to cater to the extremists and moderates at the same time. And thanks to a voting system that shits on the very principals of democracy 3rd parties won't have a chance in the first place. Politics in the US is a complete joke and an insult to democracy itself. It degenerated to nothing more than entertainment with rabid fans on both sides that don't play around with a football but with actual human lives. It's not about policy, it's only about winning, or at least the other side losing. |
Hit the nail on the head. In your opinion, had Bernie won, do you think that would have opened the door to a 3rd party? Or do you think that very idea is what led him not to be nominated vs Hillary by the Democrats?
