Absolutely not. Having opposing opinions leads to dialogue and generally ensures that extremist views do not become dominant. Having a nation of all liberals would be just as disastrous as having one of all conservatives.
The hell it does. It programs the weak-minded into becoming extremists.
If, hypothetically speaking, you could somehow convince every registered member of your opposition party to leave the country, maybe by offering them a large chunk of remote land with which they could start their own autonomous country, and a nice severance package, would you do it? Is your desire really a one party country, that adopts all of the policies you personally stand for and believe in, without any political opposition or compromise?
No, but if I could convince the democrats to revert back to the party they were in my father's day I would. That party was similar to what the republican party is today.
No. I believe it takes all kinds. I wish all of us, Democrats and Republicans, would remember we are Americans. Go ahead and hate "the other party" all you want, but remember that other party is made up of people who have your back when the s*** hits the fan. No other nationality is going to back you up and fight for you the way a fellow American is going to, even if that American is from "the other party."
Every time I ask this question I get the same response. It's weird really. Both parties bash each other consistently and claim the other is going to ruin the country and make life unbearable and miserable for our children, and then when ask if they'd like that party to leave the country so they can make policies on their own...the answer is always a very clear "no" lol.
It's like that husband and wife that bicker all the time and act like they hate each other but can't imagine life without the other around.

Sounds like the Civil War. It didn't work out too well, even though those folks voluntarily wanted to "leave".
We need MORE relevent parties, not fewer. Nader was correct to call them republicrats, as long as there are just 2, they can conspire together to serve their own vested interets. Hard to conspire when 2 becomes 4 or 6 or 8.

No. It is important that individuals with positions opposed to mine be present.
[i don't want to be surrounded by people who agree with me all of the time]
