Yes, there are big differences - on Iraq, taxes, and social issues, among others - but I think that in some ways the two parties are divided on too damned little! They both cater to their big-money contributors and their extreme fringes. Where would one go if one wanted to support a strong border-control, anti-globalization and outsourcing of jobs candidate?
I'm not necessarily even saying that these are all good things to support or not - just that neither major party seems willing to support these issues much.
The issues I mentioned - immigration, outsourcing - are not "fringe" concerns. HUGE segments of the public generally have NOWHERE TO GO on these issues, as far as the major parties are concerned, it seems. Has this ever happened before? If so, what was the eventual outcome?
Any thoughts would be welcome. And thanks to the person who inspired this question! :)
