An American Four Party System

YOU CAN COUNT ON ONE THING IN 2014: it'll be a lot like 2013; nothing will get done. Nothing will get done to deal with any of America's main issues: what to do with twelve million illegal residents, what do do about the seventeen trillion dollar national debt, what to do with Obamacare to make it work, things like that, things that need to get done, but won't. The liberal democrats and the conservative republicans will cancel eath other out, as usual, in gridlock. We seem to have forgotton how to compromise in America. A culture of stubborn arrogant leaders who think in terms of winning and losing, not in terms of problem solving. Maybe what America needs is more political parites. The two that we have don't seem to be adequate. Its already happening on the republican side, with the emergence of the tea party. Two kinds of republicans: conservatives, and ultra conservatives. The left wing of the democratic party, such as it is, might be better off to do the same thing on the left. To separate, like the tea party has done on the right. A socialist labor party, like every other western country has, would meet the needs of the American electorate; a four party system. Then, at long last, the working class would have real political participation, which it has never really had before in American history. A poor people's political party, to at least somewhat counter balance the three wealthy people's parties: republican, democrat, and tea. Issue by issue, in a four party system, temporary coalitions would form and reform, as each issue has its own solution. In most cases, the socialist labor party would probably get left out, until such time as it ever grew large enough to win elections. Otherwise, workers would be left out, as usual.
