Republicans and Democrats have become so absorbed with their own ideologies and their own "teams" that they have forgotten the whole point of our government is to keep the nation strong. Both sides would rather achieve a victory for their party instead of looking out for the good of the country. They would rather see each other lose than to see the United States win. All great empires and civilizations were weakened from within before they were toppled by some outside force. Where do you see the US in 25 years?

Empires are what the Founders warned us against. We should never have been one in the first place.

The only thing that could save us is a 3rd party.

A 2 part system is about as close to a dictatorship as you can get. I find anyone associated with either party to be a weirdo. Sorry, but the people that are true republican and democrats are freaks. Both parties suck a huge cock.

I see the balkanization of the country along ethnic lines. Consumerist capitalism is coming to an end because it is unsustainable. A new economic model will take its place. I'm not sure what that will look like exactly. Maybe more local and regional economies coming together for the greater good.

Healing itself from our current fiscal recklessness. American exceptionalism once again prevailing.

It's Big FedGov that's hurting the USA.

If Constitutional Conservatism can win the day, we'd see some solutions to our problems.

Actually the whole point of our government is to protect individual liberties. A nation doesn't create individuals by cellular division. Individuals come together with autonomous intent to create a nation. A nation can't exist without people, but people can exist without a nation. Thus, in a democratic society, the priorities should be pretty clear-cut.

What's happening in the US is beyond Dimmerats and Republicons, the only way this country returns to the rightful place our fore fathers fought for is to fight against globalism, not to go down the conspiracy path because it is truly a rabbit hole but the direction the country has taken is unreal, helping/assisting China to become the next superpower, investing in Russia to make them a worthy foe once again, seeing a pattern, as they say follow the money/banks/corporations and the answer lies there.

Do you think increased cooperation and increased legislation is a "win" for the citizens of this country?
