Why is it that you Americans are so two dimensional? Every possible idea for social reform must either be the republican or democrat position. If it can't be pigeon-holed into one of those viewpoints, it's not worth discussion. If it can, it quickly devolves into some form of partisan debate.
Your two party system is killing you in every area, and you don't even know it.
- pixcavator 17y agoDo you mean "one dimensional"?
- run4yourlives 17y agohehe, yes I suppose. I was thinking two dimensional with the understanding that the number of dimensions to an argument (dimension == viewpoint) was infinite. The argument itself though is very one dimensional. :)
- kingkongrevenge 17y ago> social reform must either be the republican or democrat position Uhh, no. It just so happens that in this case some Republicans are the only people putting forward the idea of taxing medical benefits as ordinary income, to reduce the role of insurance in the system. I don't even vote, let alone think in terms of democrat vs republican.
- grandalf 17y agoI'm an American and I think the one dimensional political spectrum idea is nonsense. I have also never voted for a mainstream party.
- Xichekolas 17y agoYeah, I don't understand why people accept/reject an argument based on which political party supports it, and why one party has to define itself in opposition to the other on every topic. Shouldn't we be looking for good solutions? Not just good solutions endorsed by our party of choice, but overall good solutions...
