I feel the same way about the Republican party. The party that sent me this:

is not the one I joined in 1985 when I turned 18. I'm not sure how it happened. The problem is the Democratic Congress seem to have been emboldened to indulge their worst excesses. The 'average' American is a libertarian in the middle somewhere, but gerrymandering has left every election to whoever swings outside the hardest in the primaries. I don't see a solution that doesn't involve revamping the whole system, but amendments to the constitution are hard enough without entrenched power interests in the mix. I'm not aligned with this guy's specific agenda:

but the process itself would be a nice idea. If it wasn't a pipe dream.
