But it isn't any party in Washington. It's the system itself in Washington.
It wouldn't matter if we had three major parties, so long as we have people who become entrenched into Washington. We need turnover, not more parties.
If you took a dozen congressional critters split evenly between the parties, then got half a dozen staunchly right leaning ordinary web posters from a gun site and half a dozen staunchly left leaning ordinary web posters from a (you pick it) web site, then put all 24 of them on an island for two weeks, the congress critters would collect together and the regular citizens would collect together.
The conservative Congresscritters and conservative citizens would have no truck with one another. Likewise the liberal Congresscritters would have nothing to do with the liberal citizens.
(In all likelihood the Congresscritters would be trying to coerce food from the citizens by the end of a few days.)
