However, I still remain somewhat a fan of divided government and am not overly fond of the notion of giving total control to either party. For the time being, I'll likely be voting Democrat, but that could change in the future if the GOP ever gets its shit together (I may die first) and the Dems go totally off the rails with their squirrelliness.

I'm not that happy with the Dems either, except for Bernie.

As for divided government, that is what we have now. Gridlock and inability to address any issues beyond renaming a post office.

I don't like the two party system. I would like to see coalition government with proportional representation like France has. But we'd have to have some pretty big changes in our current system for that to happen.

Would it work better?

Hell, I don't know, but our current two party system with winner take all elections sucks the big one, so I'd like to try something else.
