Martin Schram: GOP leaders — don’t wait ‘til the morning after!

The recently held elections in this nation has brought to contrast an absurdity of our system, its complete domination by two parties.
				The problems of being limited to a two-party system is perhaps most apparent in the race for the presidency.
				These problems include lack of choice, candidates without any actual plans and candidates who run on a platform of being less of a bad choice than their opponent.
				The presidential candidates presented a lack of choice as both were men in their late 70s, of considerable financial means, prone to bizarre mannerisms of speech and likely suffering from cognitive declines. Neither candidate seems particularly well-suited to lead an overwhelmingly younger constituency in our rapidly changing modern times.
				These candidates also lack in their willingness to present comprehensive policies. With voters forced to align with one of the two major parties, there is little incentive for either to develop any actual plans because voters are held captive to their parties.
				Most disappointing, both candidates in the recent election spent more effort attempting to convince voters of their opponents faults rather than attempting to convince voters of their own qualifications.
				The solution to this dilemma is the establishment of a multiple-party system that is not dominated by two parties. Such would provide voters with real choice, force parties to develop comprehensive platforms with detailed policies and require candidates to be more than just better than one other &ldquo;bad&rdquo; candidate. I urge readers to explore and become involved with political parties other than Democrat of Republican. If these parties can gain support now, the disappointing prospect of an election in 2024 featuring two unappealing candidates may be avoided.
