Zator: We are never going to escape the two party system in this country until a fundamental electoral reform like preference voting is adopted.

I have never formally declared to be a democrat or a republican. I don't even know the reasons for doing such a thing. I think having only two parties (I know there are others, but in a national campaign, for all intents and purposes, there are currently only two) which diametrically oppose one another is tearing the country apart. I think both sides have some really good points, but they also have some really detestable and unsavory things as well. I belong to no political party, and I can honestly say that I vote my conscience. I think there are lots of people struggling with the same things you are - the parties drift farther apart, and fewer and fewer people are willing to live on the extremes. Maybe a true and lasting third and/or fourth party can be formed that is more about unity. Might we see a political revolution in the near future?
