New polling results are exciting, but no one wins till the ballots are actually cast and counted!

Reagan was a mistake too. Every Republican from Nixon onward was a mistake. That party should be dead. Like the federalists and the whigs.

The Democrat party is ripe to split in half and be the NEXT two party system. And I'd be pleased as punch if the progressive side were the majority, especially if they might finally change us to ranked choice.

The federalists had some ideas which are worth borrowing, as thought leaders I think the party was started by some interesting and forward thinking people

The conservative party – either now as Republicans or pre-Southern Strategy Democrats – have always been terrible for the country. They continue to try and make life better for the rich, terrible for the poor, and maintain / re-establish / expand slavery.

It's never been "both sides", like many claim. It's always been the god-damned conservatives.
