OT 2 party political system

[Narrew]

I didn't want to de-rail the Iraq thread, but I was interested in talking about the 2 party system.

I do not know all the answers, but I think the 2 part system here in the U.S. has driven a wedge in our nation. It has divided us so much, that we work against each other, perhaps that is human nature. I don't remember where I read it, but supposably George Washington warned against going to a 2 party system.

I think other than the far right/left most americans (maybe 80%) are down the middle, at least close enough that they can compromise with someone on the other side of that 80%. The way our system is set up, I don't ever see that happening, but I can wonder about it.

Just a thought.
