Until a third party _really_ gets its act together as a viable alternative, what else can we do?
Monkey, no flame perceived here.
The problem is the circular argument of "viability." The Republicans weren't "viable" either, and the Whigs screamed about how people who voted GOP were assuring Democratic victories. Sound familiar?
"Viability" is, IMNSHO, a red herring. The Republicrats are no more inherently viable than the Libertarians, Greens, Reformers, or any other party. It's all in how the people see them, and until the people wake the hell up and realize that the major party is too far gone to save, no other party has a chance... because the people refuse to allow it.
IOW, the people are bent on drowning when there's a life preserver within easy reach.
