I don't agree. Ok, I admit there is a degree of Schadenfreude, but in our 2 party system there is a great danger I don't know... I think the system is broken anyway... with all the money and gerrymandering it's doesn't very much represent the public anymore. It's a 'corporate representative democracy' these days. There is no longer any compromise between the two parties so you either have one way legislation or no legislation. I still think a third party, though very disruptive would go aways toward fixing things. Independents not long ago were less than a third of the electorate now they are pushing towards 40% and growing fast. Young folks are much less inclined to favor Reps or Dems. The moderate and "Tea" Republicans seem to be getting a divorce. Both parties seem to have moved towards their more extreme poles and abandoned the middle. 10%+ unemployment, two wars... Fertile ground for a third party, more so than ever in my lifetime. It will be interesting to see it play out. The system is rigged against new party organizations... but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
