    I agree in principle with the idea that the ideology espoused by the current incarnation of the republican party needs to die forever.

    But generally (not specifically) it’s critical not to have a single party system.

    If I was Sherman I’d perhaps say that the democratic party should never have power again. But obviously times and platforms change.

    The fight is against ideology. As badly as I want the republican party to fuck off and die it’s critical that they reincarnate as something else because in the long run a single party system isn’t the answer

      We’ve had that exact scenario happen before, where one party died off entirely. Within a couple of years, they split off again into two different parties. And that’s exactly what will happen again. Democrats aren’t some kind of monolith, they have everything from Corporate Dems like Pelosi that made millions with her inside trading, don’t-rock-the-boat neoliberals that would be considered conservatives anywhere else, to leftists that would love to eat the rich and get money out of politics using just about any means necessary.

      They’re only grouped up now because the alternative is well… Republicans.

        It’s obviously difficult to reconcile the specific to the general, but as long as we’re in agreement that the ideal number of political blocks is >1 then I think we’re in agreement.
