talkpoliticsThree men are in a small row-boat. The man on the right leans far out over the side. The man in the front, senses that the boat is about to capsize, and advises the man on the left to move to the center.
For years I've been hearing people complain that the representatives of "Party _____" are not Left/Right enough and thus do not represent the true views of thier constituents, so I'm going to ask a question that borders on blasphemy.
"Is partisan infighting really such a bad thing?" (assuming of course that it doesn't turn into actual fighting)
Afterall, what's the point of voting if there's no real differance between the canidates. Maybe gridlock and obstructionism are not bugs but features.
