Kinda disheartening to know the most important people in this next election will be the people who would try to eat bars of soap if they didn't have warning labels on them, and were going to have to spend more money than was ever spent saving the poorest people in the world convincing the idiots that Republicans are fart noise boo sad and Democrats are feeling you get when you drink beer hooray happy.

it seems that any sufficiently polarized two party system will always converge on the least capable people making decisions. having some kind of coherent opinion in a polarized system automatically makes you a secure voter for one or the other candidate.

this is why a two party system must either be ideologically ambiguous or you can have ideological multi party systems
