To quote Buddy, above:

the Democrats are done with the two-party system, are done because they can be, because they’ve proved they can and will make the nation ungovernable otherwise.

The ones I know, here in NYC, are dead keen on eradicating any trace of opposition, and scoff at the idea of the two-party system being essential to preventing tyranny. They thirst for absolute control, and believe fervently that the opposition is “Evil.”

One said to me not long ago, “Our problem is the Republicans screwing things up [in the NY City Council]. When we get rid of them, we won’t have this problem any more.” I replied, incredulously, “WHAT Republicans??? There are only two out of 32 council members!!!”

She just pouted.
