What a joke and a very narrow minded point of view.
Have you ever thought that maybe taking that stupidity and investing it? You'd make a fortune.
But I guess you also have all kinds of intelligent comments about the Whigs, the Progressives, the Bull Moosers, the old Democrat-Republicans like Jefferson, the Know-Nothings, the Federalist, etc. They all had some success at different points in time.
And your genius Republicans like Nixon, Ford and Bush 41 created more socialistic programs and worthless bureaucracies than even Jimmy Carter couldn't. But I guess you love them now.
The KNOW-NOTHINGS were less of a party than a movement, much like the Luddites. They never won anything either.
Progressives ? Define that term, as it's been used by American Communists of all stripes ( but mostly the Stalinists ), and in conjunction with the Dem party; just not alone.
Fringe parties, with the exception of the GOP, which was birthed by the Whigs, who died out do to massive party jumping ( which is NOT going to happen , party jumping in huge numbers, I mean , for any of the so-called " conservative " fringe parties of today and NO, you may not borrow my crystal ball ! ), are just that...fringe and only serve as spoilers.
So no, it is hardly " narrow minded ", when anyone here here states the bleeding obvious, which is that America has two, and ONLY two political parties, whose candidates can capture the presidency.
