That's why we need to make the nation 80-20 politically and make the 20%fringe inconsequential

The 20% fringe (both side total) are the ones that want to keep things mired in fractures and protest and offer nothing.
I include Ralph Nader in that.

The 1% of the nation that likes those 3rd parties and protest votes had way too much power in 2000 when things could have been different.

80% of the people want something positive.
20% want to keep burning things down without really caring the day after

80-20 is coming

and then things can move forward.

for too long the 80% have remained silent while the 20%(total on both sides combined)
have divided the country so that nothing gets done.

And that 80-20 is coming is the genius.This is not a 50-50 country.
Only with the ones in senate/house does it seem, but the people themselves do not want 50-50, they want 80-20.
