Yes, we do have a two-party system. And right now, both parties stink...badly. That’s why a lot of people don’t bother voting. I don’t blame them.
The leadership of the GOP has become completely corrupted. Big words, little action. Might as well replace the (R) with a (D) for most of those clowns.
Still, the Socialists received zero electoral votes. That was unsatisfactory. A group of intellectuals, the “Fellow Travelers” of infamy rationally determined that despite the truth of socialism, it would never be implemented outside the dominant two party system.
They decided to take over the Democrat Party. With the 1929 crash and the ascendancy of FDR, their timing could not have been better. The Fellow Travelers found various political posts to serve in the new administration and served their cause well.
The GOP was conservative before. It can be conservative again. Mark Levin's Conservative Manifesto should be our road map.
Spending ones time and effort with third parties is just self abuse.
