I've said it before, but I am happy to respond.
We need conservatives.
They keep us from moving too fast. I'm totally OK with that. The problem is that the functional voice of the conservatives has been lost in the current republican party.
The current republican party uses deficit spending like a credit card that they never intend to pay back. How is that conservative?

Republican =/= conservative
The Republicans are freaking terrible, and the leadership of the Republican party needs to disappear allowing younger more moderate people who believe in science and arent taught ignorant religious views like many in the current republican party (lets face it Republicans social views are for the most part shitty and out of touch with reality.
But the left is a joke too. They just lost an election against a clown that the Republicans handed to them, because they were completely rampant with corruption and ALSO out of touch with the American people.
The fact is if the left stopped blaming rich people, white people, and men for all the problems in the world, and if the right stopped pretending that the Bible is both literal and real, then this world would be a much better place. But instead you have two parties absolutely covered in ignorance pitting the American people against each other.
Look I agree with you 100% the Republicans are freaking terrible, because its the truth. But so are the Democrats. A group of reasonable intelligent people capable of thinking for themselves without party allegiances would solve so many more problems and run this country so much better.
But party diehards and zealots on both sides of the aisle (which 100% includes you) are the freaking problem. Maybe if were lucky in our lifetimes this broken two party system could fix itself.
I do think that as older bible thumping Republicans die off and their social views get substantially reduced in society, then maybe the fluidity of party allegiances could be altered significantly as well when social views becomes a much smaller issue.
