(and Independents (including Libertarians))
There are hundreds of reasons. The major one history…. This one is a small, insignificant one, but added to the heap of others it provides amazing clarity…
“Democrats are seen an more willing to work with the other party, by a margin of 52% to 27%.
Take ten random people and line them up…. 5 of those now see Democrats as the more willing to work with the other party. 3 of those see Republicans as willing to work. 2 others are on the sidelines waiting to see what happens…..
Add those 2 to the Democrats 5, and you have a super majority that can pass legislation without worrying how it helps or hurts the other party. But add those 2 to the Republican side, you at best, will get stalemate, at 5 vrs. 5…….
Meaning that there is only one way to go. Swear not to vote for a Republican, ever, and if you are a Conservative, go out and find a Conservative democrat. Trust me, they are out there. As one looks across the Democrat party today, one sees much complaining that Democrats from conservative districts, are too conservative….
Voting for a Democrat will never hurt you or the nation. Voting for a Republican does, every time they win an office…. Don’t feel sad; they brought it upon themselves….
(This is not some political spew; it is a thoughtful rendition of the reality faced by America today. If the roles were reversed, I’d be championing the other party.)

Kavips, We need a Third Party – Democrats cave in and are bought & sold by Corporate Interests. Barack Obama- Race to the Top – aims to Fund Charter Schools by Corporatizing the Public School System & busting teachers unions. Race to the Top is also Supported by a Democratic Governor. DE Schools are becoming more segregated – post De-Seg. Cuts to SNAP- 3 DE Democrats voted Yes. Can I go on?

In Delaware’s General Assembly we already have a third party… It is called the Republican Party.
(The other two parties are both in the Democratic caucus. )
