| 38. I agree that neither the current Democratic Party nor the Republican Party will fix this |
|
The Republican Party has no interest in fixing it, and too many in the Democratic Party don't either.
That leaves us with only one solution. People acting alone can't fix these things. We can only do it through government. Which means that we need a new government. Which means that we need another political party.
