In the future will The US political parties change?

Asked by willbrawn (6614points) September 5th, 2008 from iPhone

right now the US has two major political parties the democrats and the republicans. It has not always been this way. Both parties came after the organiztion of the government ( please correct if I am wrong ). Do you think the major parties will or can change In the future? Or will the US forever be democrat or republican?

I would argue that, if nothing else, the parties themselves will undergo significant changes. But there’s also a very good chance that other parties will come to power. This is all assuming that the US continues to exist for a good long time, of course.

The major parties undergo major changes every few decades.

Do you think Abe Lincoln would be a Republican today? I sure don’t.
