[Paleopsych] GOP and dems

[Steve Hovland]

The Republicans are pursuing Social Darwinism.

If you read up you will find that they are intent
on destroying the social safety net that has been 
built starting with the New Deal.

The negligible difference between the Repubs
and Dems probably indicates that they need to 
merge and that a new populist party needs to 
be formed.

I've been following this thread and what occurs to me 
is why cannot the Dems join with the GOP in pursuit of 
social justice?
That way, votes will not be split and everyone can 
re-align and form a common whole.  The differences in 
America between the two parties has become fairly 
negligible.
