Opinion | Tuesday’s election proves it: American politics are a disaster

Joe Scarborough

The only way to escape the cycle is to break apart the hyperpartisan two-party duopoly.

Dear Colleagues:  I am involved in the Libertarian Party not only because I want to live in a libertarian society, but to, as Joe Scarborough puts it, "break apart the hyperpartisan two-party duopoly" that most certainly is a "disaster" for this nation.  Please take three minutes to read this excellent column.  In my opinion, for this to be accomplished, the voting system will need to be changed from the Single Member Plurality rules now in effect.  It's not ballot access, or campaign finance rules, or anything else that relegates the LP and other minor parties to their second class status in the United States.  It's the voting system, and I hope the LP will do more to change those laws that really bind us.  Bill Redpath
