BananaTrifleViolin,

I agree but I think ultimately this shows how broken the US electoral system is.

The two parties have such control over the electoral apperatus that no other party can conceivably get a look in. Instead the two parties have broken down to form parties within parties but the overall bi-partisan set up makes it so unstable

Effectively the MAGA republicans get disproportionate power - 8 representatives can cause chaos because the republican party cannot do anything but work with them.

The debate is always about Republicans or Democrats when it really should be about electoral reform to break the duopoly. A dose of proportional representation even at local and state levels would be a huge step in the right direction in breaking the hold the two big parties have over the US.
