We need 4 or 5 parties. The two party system has gotten us into this mess. You get two choices Red or Blue. making that choice is similiar to picking up the cleanest end of the turd. Adding one more party will only give the option of picking up the turd in the middle...
Since the Clinton era, I've been a devoted conservative republican. Then when Trump came on the scene I was astounded how much the Red team was against him, almost as bad as the Blue team. For 2 years they got nothing done. it was sickening.
Then my state senator, cornyn, voted for legislation promoting gun control, even thought the state party platform had several statements in it vowing absolutely no gun control measures. When I contacted the state Republican party offices on why he was not censured for voting against his constituents desires I was given a run around. When the annual fund raising campaign letter came, I sent back my torn off bumper sticker and told them to shove it.
I will no longer vote a party ticket. After the 2024 elections it may not be worth my time to vote at all.
This country seems to have forgotten that the politicians work for us, not the other way around. May be time to break out the tar and feathers.
