    There is also the Whig party for reference. They were one of the two parties until they refused to take a meaningful stance on slavery. They were the ‘bipartisanship states rights solves it’ party versus the ‘pro-slavery’ party.

    There is no longer a Whig party and the slavery party went to war over a decade or so after the anti slavery parry formed.

    So there’s that alternative to Party switch.

      I agree. I think we’re at the stage where the Democrats are the Whig party. They aren’t going to change, they need to be replaced with a true progressive party.

      Assuming that we continue to be as much of a democracy as we were, now might be the time for that replacement to happen.
