Only from the perspective of balance I raise the question ... why have a one-sided forum here? Is this not a democracy?

Wickerman,

You raise a good point.

Kevin1971 and canucky woman are exactly right--Democrats Abroad took the initiative to contact us, and we are more than happy to partner with them. We would also be more than happy to partner with Republicans Abroad.

As we approach the U.S. elections, I am attempting to make contact with RA to offer both perspectives.

I will keep you posted on any developments.

Hey Republicans aren't leaving the country!

Oh no, they are still back in the States ... trying to stop any gun control regulations.

Well with the electoral college system, the US can only loosely be regarded as a democracy. A 2 party system designed to prevent the emergence of a 3rd or 4th party is hardly very democratic.

As for Republicans abroad - they are freedom hating anti-American scum for choosing to live outside the US. Why aren't they interested in eating Freedom fries instead of those cowardly French fries you can buy here in Yurp (Europe I mean)
