Good morning, Paul. Thank you for the interesting essay. Today's question:
You have stated a number of times your opposition to our current construction of US political parties. I agree with you that our current two-party system is severely stressed and broken.
I'm guessing you would not argue for a single-party state (we've all seen that movie, with its consistently totalitarian/authoritarian plot line).
States with multiple weak parties usually end up either ungoverned/ungovernable or ooze towards authoritarianism (many countries in Africa struggle with this dialectic of anarchy/authoritarianism).
What would you propose as an alternative or way forward to our current bipolar US political party dynamic?
