That WAPO article that has been posted many times on this board regarding the falling importance of economic performance and corruption issues as america becomes more diverse and less white..
I showed that to a friend of mine, an independent of Asian heritage in CA, and he said it legitimately worried him.
Look at a state like Kansas or Illinois or Alabama or Louisiana. These states have had intense economics and/or corruption/ethical issues, and most of the time, the party in power is NOT penalized
Throwing away partisanship for a moment, isn't it a BAD thing that some cook county sleazebag or brownback or the disgraced Alabama governor doesn't really feel voter heat because of it?
I don't want to live in a future America where democratic politicians aren't penalized for a job poorly done. As my indy friend said, it's a de-facto third-world style way of doing things.
One potential solution to this is if we do become a one party country, the party itself can just replace the sh**t bags with better ones.
