It's something we would do well to think about, lest we face the same fate as the Democrats.
You're right, young Cicero, we need at least one other viable political party. The current Democratic Party has become hostage to gay rights, abortion right, Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton rights/Michael Moore/MoveOn etc. to the point that you have to belong to some special interest group to really be attracted to it. They're isolated in specific areas, and their interests don't reach mainstream Americans.
IOW, they've got some 'splaining to do to themselves if they want the Democratic Party to be a viable counterpoint. And again, yes, we need it.
