That's the big problem with a two-party system. It tends to polarize political discourse.
IOW, Dems are painted by Republicans as SPEND SPEND SPEND Granola People! And Republicans are painted by Dems as Reactionary asshats!
If a DECENT Middle-of-the-road party came about...
... >< They'd be painted as wishy-washy fence-sitters.
It's a shame too. I'd LIKE to see a "The most good for the most people, in the most cost-effective way possible." political platform that was taken seriously.
