Is either party doomed?

[Matt J]

Each side keeps saying this, but is it actually true? Walton County is quite the microcosm, but we essentially have a one party system and it doesn't seem to be working. There are other parties, but none are actually viable alternatives if you wanted to actually get someone elected.

If one is doomed should those doomed be ready to choose a new party? Here's a list of political parties in Florida:

Political Parties - Florida Division of Elections - Department of State

The number of folks on here that identify as Republican and are in fact Whigs is pretty interesting.

Whigs? You are going to have to explain that one because I thought they died in the 1850's and BECAME the Republican party.

What we need is a party that is hijacked by a bunch of rabid, knee-jerk moderates.

They still exist, there's even a website through the link I posted.

Regardless of political affiliation, we need representatives that listen and vote the will of their constituents. Hence the word representative. Anyone who doesn't needs their butt kicked to the curb.

I've been seeing material posted about the "Coffee Party" that's sprung up in some areas. However haven't seen any evidence of it locally. I guess it isn't a real political party despite the name.
