Although I may not agree with the author on all the issues raised, I see his point. The two party system is a disaster. I think about a parliamentary system where a black freedom party can embrace positions without worrying about having to cow tow to a broad spectrum of supposed political comrades. As a libertarian, I have dealt with this for years with the Republican Party.
I'm not suggesting a parliamentary system is the answer, but this two party stranglehold on US politics must end.

I often argue that two parties are a serious joke placed on us by the powerful. Especially if the purported intent is to represent the population. Parliamentary systems are not perfect, but they are more representative.

I've been a registered Republican, Democrat and Green. I even went through a period of only voting against incumbents regardless of party. It was all unsatisfactory. I think by intent.

This has always been my dad's approach to voting on judges.
