Time to Have Honesty in Our Party Monikers.
Advertisements [?]
Since the Republicans have abdicated their implied pledge to stay within the bounds of sanity and far too many Democrats regularly go against what their constituents want and vote the corporate line every time, those two parties should go the way of the 1920’s slang and - 23 skidoo. The two parties can take their bases and form new parties to represent their respective interests. Say the Progressives (true moderates) or OD’s on the street…yo, representing the interests of the Democratic base, the BS Party, standing for Bat Shit in some quarters and in polite company, But Socialism!, representing the old Republican base. And for true truth in advertising, the Corporation Party taking numerous politicians from both parties who represent what their name implies.

It’s a win-win-win for everyone. No longer will corporatist Democrats have to pretend they care and dislike the bill that’s on the table, before they inevitably fold and vote for it as they have one thousand times before. No longer will sane but greedy Republicans need to pretend they believe in the War On Christmas. The left will have representatives who will vote for their interests without handing-ringing and selling out… and the label of “weak” will disappear. The right can go full-till bogie and have wage wars on every imaginary enemy they can think of. Plus real enemies like, science, thinking, reality and the like.

What do you think?
