[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with our politics is that in every election we elect one side, that side screws up while in office, and then the electorate gets mad and punishes the party in power by electing the other side. Every election is won based on the electorate’s negative opinion on the party in power, not their positive opinions about the challenger party.

The problem is that the challenger party, once in office, assumes that they were placed there because the electorate really likes them and all their extremist ideas. So they go about trying to implement their extremist ideas, and the electorate gets mad at them and puts the other party back in power.

At some point the Democrat left will be put back in power. They’ll assume a mandate for their wet dream Democrat left ideas, try to implement them, and promptly be thrown back out.

I said similarly the other day in another post. I don’t understand how the party people cannot understand this. Or maybe they do, which is why they push their extreme positions while they can hoping the other side can’t recover. In any case, they’ve gotten away from helping the people. [/quote]
