The “lack of unity” that permeates on both the left and the right exemplify the oversimplified and obsolete two party system that exists today. Beginning with Ross Perot and continuing with Ralph Nader and now alive and well with Hillary Clinton, we continue to see example after example of how irrelevant a two-philosophy political system really is.
Its no use now or in the future to suggest that one party can reflect the ideals of all republicans or democrats. To force or require nuanced positions to accept the majorities rule just leads to more and more disenfranchisement in both political parties.
The current political dominance is simply unsustainable and results in American versus American rather than freedom and liberty for all.
There is no political freedom in the United States as long as two parties monopolize rule over our economy, politics, health care system, tax system and other major positions.
If two companies ran all of our health care, all of our air travel, all of our power plants, all of our phone systems we simply wouldn’t stand for it and would probably legislate against it - but thats not possible in this case because we’ve let the wolves guard the hen house.
Devils advocates will say that nothing requires people to be Democrat or Republican and that freedom exists for other political philosophies but that’s not the point I’m talking to. I’m talking about these two parties imploding on themselves because there’s no room for the Hillary Clinton’s of the world. There’s no room for the Huckabee’s and Romney’s of the world and therefore all Americans suffer (and so do the two major parties) from this oversimplified system that simply-does-not-reflect-the-will-of-all-Americans.
The defections on both sides exemplify this effect and result in a diluted politik.
