Quote:I'm sorry, who exactly likes Hillary other than feminists who only care about having a woman in the White House, the few airheads who look back on the Clinton years as the "golden days", and some random white women who don't understand anything about politics or policies and just think she's "good"? All of which are vast minorities. Last time I checked Clinton has something like a 77% disapproval rating. Doesn't sound like a lot of people are "blindly complying" to her. Furthermore, the object of every political party is to WIN. Same with the Republicans. By virtue of their very nature they would prefer there to only be one party, that's the way OPPOSING forces work. It's the framework of our government that's meant to keep that balance in check and prevent a one party rule. Political parties =/= government systems. To act like they're in the wrong for wanting to do what their meant to is silly and emotional. However, when one party has gone so far to the right to as become now comically out of touch with the majority of Americans, and by a large margin, that pushes the system.

 

The Republican party has nothing but itself to blame for losing so much fundamental demographic ground to Democrats by not evolving their positions to be more in line with the majority of Americans. America is never going to be the whitewashed country it was back in the 19th-20th centuries again and there will continue to be more diversity.  The Republican party needs to realize that many of its positions alienate key demographics and are doing the conservative ideology a disservice. There is a reason most millennials identify as liberal and it's because all of their lives they've seen nothing but Republicans carrying the banner of conservatism look like bigots and loons. Or maybe there is a problem with just defining "conservatism" as the classics American values, which many minorities take as code for "normal" white men and women families? The problem with conservatism has always been that at some point it crosses a line where it becomes "stuck-in-the-mud-ism". The world moves on, and the solutions and institutions that worked in the mid 20th century are not going to work in 2016.

 

However, unless Democrats destroy the constitution, there is never going to be a one party system in this country, so peddling a narrative of fear and boogieman Democrats does nothing constructive.

 

You must be a Political Science major.

 

Republicans have gone so far to the right?  What about Democrats going so far to the left?  Regarding the first part in bold, the Democrat party alienates a vast majority of people with conservative principles.  It's not about demographics, it's about morals and values.

 

Regarding the second part in bold, that's how the left continues to brainwash the minions.  Conservatives are "bigots" and "loons"?  Show where conservatism == bigot.  For your information, I happen to be a minority (since race seems to be such an issue with liberals).  I'm a conservative, explain why I'm a "loon".  Again for your information, I'm involved not only with educating our young military members, but I also happen to be involved with developing many open source projects (both software and hardware).

 

Regarding the third part in bold, is that not a racist statement?  I happen to be a "minority" that is conservative.  I by no means have a "normal white men and women family".  I'm conservative for a lot of reasons which I won't go into right now.  However, I live in "the South", I drive a pickup truck, I have a bass boat and I listen to country music.  What exactly are you going to classify me as?
