America shows all the signs that our nation is in decline. Strong bonds such as family, religion, morality and education that have traditionally defined the American way of life, are being broken at a record pace. Tribalism and barbarism are increasingly defining life in our inner cities, while hedonism is glorified and runs rampant through our educational institutions, and our social and political fabric.

That all being said, I have a great deal of faith in the American spirit. It has waned over the years, but it always makes a comeback during times of crisis. I personally think there is an awakening happening among ordinary folks who are pulling back the curtain and seeing through the corrupt political/social justice circus, and are organizing at the grass roots level to change the trajectory of this nation.

Their efforts may fail, but as was the case in our founding fathers time; they are morally, religiously, and socially compelled to try. God bless them!!

No one with kids can't help but worry about what the future in this country holds for them. Only a blind fool would see nothing but blue sky on the horizon for coming generations of Americans.

I have a feeling if we don't flip things around this election it'll be to late to recover .
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I believe we may already be past the point of no return. Niether side, Red or Blue, believes the election process is legitimate at this point. As such, neither side will accept the results. November is going to be interesting in this country. I'm predicting it will get violent.

At one time I'd agree, but not anymore this is organized, and it is elitist drive top-down.

I agree it is elitist driven, but we keep electing the same fools year after year who allow the elitists power so we have some blame to bear as well

Absolutely Phil. We allow two corrupt private corporations (the DNC and RNC) to decide who runs for office. In reality they are two sides of the same coin with the exact same agenda. They just disguise their common agenda within their liberal or conservative talking points. Along the way they fool the American public into thinking there is a difference in their approach to responsible government. There isn't a difference because the RNC and DNC have the same goals --

We need a third party in this country. A party that doesn't have a private corporation as it's decision making entity. A party that chooses and supports candidates based on public trust versus corporate and institutional welfare.

We do need a third party, but I doubt I will see a third party candidate get elected as POTUS. Every time a third party has entered the picture in my lifetime it  almost always cost the Republicans and not the Democrats. The next election is going to be very critical and not one Republicans need to loose because of third party candidates being siphoned off.

Actually,  I think Democrats talk up third party a lot knowing history has shown that generally it is the Republicans have taken it in the shorts if enough folks are persuaded to vote for the 3rd party candidate.

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.

So, the question on multiple parties is, how well does it work in the European nations that have multiple parties.

I just don't follow politics enough to know and I know darn little about European politics,

I like the idea of multiple parties but are the results any different?

I would be all for a more center party that catered to moderates on both sides, and realistically, there are more moderates then either extreme, so it could succeed.

Not sure either Phil. European parties as a group have sold out their constituents in favor of unelected EU government bureaucrat control in many matters of state. My hope is that we divorce ourselves of the "bought and payed for" DNC and RNC corporations, and put an end to their system of nominating corporate and globalist controlled candidates. That would be a start.
