    The crimson lining is that we might get to build a new United States, free of the GOP and DNC. The problem is the nature of that crimson.

      Is it really easier to imagine the end of the United States of America compared to voting outside the two party system?

        It certainly feels that way. I simply have no faith in the DNC, let alone the likes of the GOP. I am of the opinion that our political system simply lacks the flexibility needed to reflect the interests of ordinary people. Just look at how medical benefits, SNAP, NOAA, our sciences, federal workers, due process, and so much more are being deconstructed. All for the sake of a small group of people to see their numbers go up.

        It would be good to be wrong about this feeling. Unfortunately, hope is rarely a good companion of prudence.
