In reply to the discussion: Why is the American left not as effective as the European left? [View all]True Blue Door
(2,969 posts)Also, why would multi-party systems empower the European left more than the right? They still have to form coalitions to govern, which just happens within the two parties in this country. What is the practical difference?
"What is exactly the purpose of this OP - to turn the Lefties into Third Wayers or Blue Dogs and yelp happily into the polls?"
Again, truly preposterous accusation. The level of insecurity that would produce such a reaction is staggering. Or maybe you can explain to me how the points I make at the end of the OP would indicate what you're suggesting? Being less insular and self-absorbed would lead to being Third Wayers and Blue Dogs? Placing greater emphasis on Congress rather than the Executive Branch would do that?
Did you even read the OP?
