So let's say hypothetically America splits into red and blue. What about those of us not comfortable with living in either territory? Because at least as things are now, the extremes tend to balance each other out. But if you separate, there's a chance the highly motivated people on the far right and left will gain power and push for that kind of government.
Which would leave a lot of people in the Overton window unhappy with living in either blue or red. Can there be a three-way split? Blue is a leftist utopia, red is a conservative paradise, with purple remaining neoliberal (current US minus the left/right).
Question is how does purple keep red & blue from meddling in their politics as a kind of proxy war against the other?

- renox 5y agoThat's easy to create election rules which doesn't induce a "two party" system, but how do you convince the current winners of the current system to change the election rules?
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoCurrent US minus the left and right could be a pretty nice place. How does purple keep red and blue from meddling in their politics? By being larger/stronger than either red or blue. If it's smaller and weaker, the meddling is probably inevitable.
