Less than a week, but I think it at least existed. The parties have gotten very good at bringing their fanbase under control.
This was a good read about the GOP.
Also, its quite scary as a European that the leftest man in the field is someone who has rightshifted since 1994.
Indeed. Someone else whose name I forgot (probably on Daily Kos Elections) had commented that this seemed like "tribalism"--it's all about whether you're one of them, and you can totally agree with conservative tea-partiers on policy issues but they might still not accept you if they don't feel you are one of them. So basically, you don't just have to speak of their policy ideas, you have to live and breathe that spirit.
There's a certain amount of "cultural" superiority amongst such conservatives. They're no longer thinking what policy options are best for the country; they're only thinking about what policy options advance their agenda. That's because they've implicitly already decided that their agenda, their governing philosophy/ideology, is best, and almost nothing you say, no amount of evidence or reasoning, will convince them otherwise.
If you do happen to be arguing with one such person, remember that arguing against them is a lost cause, and if anything, you are aiming to sway the audience, not your opponent.
FOR
PRESIDENT!
And that's my 2 cents for this discussion. He has my royal endorsement.
Ah, I'm not quite sure I'm following your logic. Could you elaborate?
That'd be cool, but I'd still prefer to see both parties splinter apart under the force of their own cultivated factionalism and watch the government become proportionally representative overnight.
