Because having two serious political parties is good for the country. Competition in the free market of ideas can produce working real world solutions that will benefit the country.
Politics based on hate, fear, victimization, personal smears, stupid soundbites and outrageous outrages does nothing to actually help the country find solutions.

If the Republican party was at all serious about changing its ideas to adapt to the modern realities of the real world, I could be on board with this sentiment. The problem, KT, is that the GOP is only interested in finding new ways to repackage the same ideas to basically trick low-info citizens into voting for them. See also: Cdesign proponetsists.

That’s not healthy democracy, it’s deceitful democracy.
