Coalition governments (Britain, Israel, Italy) are a disaster. No thanks.

The Constitution makes no mention of Ds and Rs, or a two-party system.Originally posted by joecct View Post
And I'm not saying change from a bicameral Federal legislature.
I'm saying the Ds and Rs seem to be fracturing into subgroups and to legislate in the future it'll take a coalition of those groups/interests ala European parliaments.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Re: The 2018 midterm elections!
Not disagreeing, but with all the special interest sub-groups that seem to be forming within the major parties (Tea Party, Bernie Bros, Dem Socialists), it seems that is a very plausible future.Originally posted by Rover View PostThe preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Re: The 2018 midterm elections!
Unless the Tea Party and Dem Socialists literally split off from the GOP and Dems you won need that. Neither has the resources to do that nor will they ever."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Re: The 2018 midterm elections!
Dem Socialists already split their vote. See Nader, and Jill Stein which had devastating impact on the elections they were involved in in 2000 and 2016.Originally posted by Handyman View Post**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Coalition governments are products of a parliamentary system with multiple parties. We are (for now) a 2 party system (with divisions within each party). You can't have a coalition with just 2 parties.Originally posted by unofan View PostCCT '77 & '78

That wasn't the question. Why do you think it would require a constitutional amendment?Originally posted by joecct View PostComment

Re: The 2018 midterm elections!
We're already well on the way there. They are not just walking, but now running to the left in districts where it has become safe to do so. Within 10 years, we'll probably see an unqualified left-wing celeb run for POTUS on a left-populist platform.Originally posted by SJHovey View PostComment

They have to actually start their own party for it to be a coalition. Just voting for Nader is not the same thing.

So, Nader and Stein aren't another party? And voting for them doesn't fracture the Democratic Party?Originally posted by Handyman View Post

The way I interpreted it was a parliamentary system like Canada or the UK with an elected head of state. That's not what is in the Constitution.Originally posted by unofan View PostCCT '77 & '78
