Like I said no consensus.
No ... it isn't like "you said" ...
Actually based on what you said, the implication would be that
no consensus is even possible ...
I'll let you dwell in what must be a considerable amount of
cognitive dissonance ... given the ramifications of the very existence of the two major parties ...
both of which contain significant amounts of dissidents and people that don't agree with all of the two parties's positions ...
As evident by the following posts.
Did you actually mean
preceding posts ?
Lent I know the various factions in the republican party. Its rather obvious to anyone paying attention.
Well, that you didn't bother to include them in your analysis says a little something now doesn't it ?
I dunno about you, but personally I feel that understanding is gained by peeling back the layers of the onion to understand all the discrete factors involved in any given situation ...
rather than adopting some simplistic premise that glosses over said factors ...
Yes I know, you view Cruz as a neocon.
ROTFLMAO ...
I do, do I ?
Again with the simplistic rendering ...
Keep up the good work there with the deep thoughts Jack Handy ...
Like I said Dems are lock stepped united.
A (right) wingnut viewpoint ...
Stop sucking down the sauce ...
The only dissent I see from members of that party is that socialism isn't going fast enough for them.
Proof that you really aren't looking ...
or just aren't very skilled at objective, balanced research ...
Try being a little bold and poking around in some places where they aren't quite as self-validating and doesn't feed your own confirmation biases ...
It won't kill ya.
The republican establishment types won't go for a third party because they are the establishment.
Now that one is pure genius ...
That leaves tea party movent and some libertarians in party.
Again, overly simplistic ... but I do have to give you credit: you've managed to at least bring yourself up to the point of recognizing the matter isn't strictly binary ...
Keep plugging away - you may eventually get there ...
Not enough votes even if you got them all which you won't because they don't agree.
Oh ... now I get it:
you're terrified of the idea that there could be a third party, based on a consensus between independents, republicans, and democrats ...
I'm sure it's just utterly terrifying for you ... don't worry though - I'll bet that you do have some company ...
and someone to hold your hand and reassure you in the more frightening moments ...
In fact, I'm sure that LDB or maybe the Turkey Choker will be along any minute now to poo-poo the whole idea ...
