I do take your point

Honestly, both systems have their merits

Well, there would be more centre learning parties people could vote for. Rather than voting for one party and getting open borders, and the other offering closed borders

A nice middle ground can be found

@Nathan James 123 I think the weakening of the parties happened first, then the extremeism came in

Possibly so

A combination of one proportional and one majority chamber of parliament is a decent solution

I don't know how that would work tbh @leavethisbotnet

You have one chamber that is voted in with proportional system

There is no closed border party. Trump at no point even suggested ending immigration just illegal immigration.

you have second chamber (like senate) that is voted in with mojority voting system

like FPTP, but less retarded

You understood my poin though @Jym

The message I was conveying

Would they have equal power? @leavethisbotnet

Honestly the Republicans are the centrist party at this point

So no we're not getting more extreme "on both sides" if anything Republicans have become more moderate.

could be like Senate and Congress is now

they just have awful marketing

No, the Republicans have become more extreme as a result of the Democrats doing the same IMO

data would suggest otherwise but okay

both of them can make laws, but are in some ways different (senate, congress)

Send me some @W1NT3R1SC0MING

will do one sec

ty

Republicans didn't really become extreme. Only the dems moved to the left.

graphs based on policy show that

Yeah the data shows republicans have been generally average. Dems tho? Have moved way to the left

@Nathan James 123 I really disagree the Republicans haven't become more extreme, they've held their ground and moved left slower than previously

which give the appearance of extremeism

The republicans are almost on-par with their original stances

I don't know what US politics looked like before 9 / 11 so I wouldn't know

not accepting the inane leftist bullshit isn't "extremism"

But that's what it looks like @Sawyer42

yes

that one

@Nathan James 123 I've lived through it, and most of the Republicans I know have moved slightly left and consolidated around a basic set of ideals

most of the Dems I know cover a huge RANGE of political ideologies

and I mostly know dems

granted Anecdotal
