I tend to agree. I'm against parties in general, but if we are to maintain a two-party system here is my preferred mash up: Democratic executive, Republican lower chamber, and a mixed upper chamber. This requires working together to get shit done and, I feel, puts people in the places that cater to their strengths. However, I could switch my view on the executive and lower chamber at times. That all depends on the most pressing issues of the election cycle.
