What does our country stand for?
Does it stand for what the two Parties stand for?
If so, we are totally screwed.
Because the two Parties do not seem to stand for any principles except in words only. The only thing they seem to believe is worth fighting for is political power. Morality and ethics are secondary to remaining in power. Because, without power, we have no voice.
Is that what we want to stand for as a Party? What happened to the better angels of our nature?
If we are only willing to fight the battles we know we can win, then we are cowards. We are losers.
We must stand for something besides political power.
