seriously--i made an argument that both parties are incoherent, that opposition to both can be understood as an act meant (at the level of intention at least) of engendering a wholly different type of conversation than you have now---but you decide, for whatever reason, that working for the better means one thing and that is your thing.
why is that?
if the framework is incoherent, what good comes of sitting around in a circle trying to like each other at the middle of it?

Because, IMHO a 2 party system each able to take their extremists and find compromise within their party can bring forth compromises with the other and work torward a better future.
If you have more parties, you still end up with 2 major parties compromising with the lower ones..... except then you have 1 or 2 that hold just enough votes to get whatever they want to keep the majority party in control. In other words coalitions. And coalitins don't work.
