We had more parties that were more evenly divided years ago. First past the post voting will eventually take us down to two.. think of sports ball elimination, you end up with two teams at the end and one winner. We just have the same two teams playing over and over now.
Now you are speaking my language with sportsball. I totally agree with you in the sense that politics is professional or even collegiate level sportsball tournament. My happy argument is that I am from Indiana. There is a classic movie called "Hoosiers" that explains my thoughts exactly.
The team focused upon in the movie is nothing special. The thing that makes them beat all odds is a wise, and focused coach. The team masters fundamentals and teamwork. As a whole, they overcome insurmountable odds by working together knowing where their weaknesses, as well as their strengths.
My point is, we can beat anyone. We just need to play to our strengths. We need to recognize when to pull back and rest, while the other side over exerts themselves. The last two minutes of the game is at hand. We are ready. We were chosen for a reason.
