The future of the two parties

[opebo]

I think Republicans for the next ten years will continue to become more extreme

Pipe dream, the modern democratic party is almost as extreme.

+ Why should the republican party get more moderate while the democratic party doesn't? Because they're having problems electorally? That's basically asking them to surrender. The democratic party didn't get more moderate after losing 3 presidential elections in a row, they found a way to appeal.

The Dems are left-wing while the Republicans are on the hard-right.  The Moderates are extinct. Its like if you are a Moderate what party should you vote for.

You guys are just silly - the Democratic party is not left wing - its precisely moderate to even center right!  It has always been a centrist party, and has never had any real left wing bent, and particularly not since the 1980s.

What I meant to say and maybe should have said is the Dems are to far to the left on economic issues while the Republicans are on the extreme right. Nutty Tea Party wing and the Fox News Arm to a lesser extent drove Republicans to the extreme right after 2010. The country is in the center when it comes to economic issues not left of center(Moderate Liberalism) or on the extreme right.

I like the Dems when they had Clinton he had the right policies for the right time period.

But the Democrats are centrist to center-right on economic issues, hopper.

No, no they're not. Unless you live in a world where you are so far left of the democratic party that you call them "center-right". I'm guessing you are very far-left socialist yourself guessing from your arguments.

Dude, regarding economics socialism is left, and capitalism is right wing.  The Democrats support capitalism.

socialism when it comes to government and economics, socialism almost never does much good at all.

Utter nonsense.

Socialism in terms of employees owning part of their place of employment is about the most radical idea I've heard since Sandra Fluke said I should buy her birth control so she can sleep around.

Oh my god, that rears its ugly head again.  Vulgar chaps when it comes down to it, aren't you?

[opebo]

Liberals here... merely seek a more mixed economy.

No, they don't seek a 'mixed economy'.  They seek exactly the same kind of economy as the Republicans.

While this topic is interesting, I prefer to think about "the future" of me.

Yeah but that's of no interest to anybody else.
