The United States should split in two countries. One liberal and one conservative.

Given that my opponent forfeited, I shall be very concise and quick.Case II: Distribution of Parties. Pro is working under the premise that there is a clear cut line between Conservative and Liberal. In truth there is not. In all actualiy, Conservative and Liberal distribution tends to be based more off Rural/Urban settings, rather then South/North. {1} As the picture below demonstrates, Every state has a large number of Red Counties, and Blue Counties. What do we do with these people? If Reds are stuck in a now "Blue" Country, they will immediately become a neglected minority. This very same thing will happen (perhaps in greater quantity) to the Blues in the Red Nation (Now officially termed the "Fire Nation"). Pro has suggested in the comments that these people can just move. This is incredably irrespectable, to simply tell people they must either leave their homes and lives, or face oppression. Worse, it's logistically impossible. This isn't like kicking out a few noisy neighbors, in some cases this will be the removal (or oppression of) whole counties and towns. But wait, there's more! We can't quarantee that every state will be nicely positioned within their new nation. Despite Pro's assertian in the Comments, the South is not the only red region. In fact, the Reds actually carve a path right down the middle of the nation. This would leave the Blue Nation cut in half between East and West (with two or three blue islands). For this reason I shall call the Blue nation the Water Nation. It gets worse since many states in the middle of the country are not clearly red or blue. {2} Next round I will up the ante by showing that the Political Spectrum is more then a Line. click="document.location='/Unitomic/photos/album/4530/29616/'" src="../../../photos/albums/1/5/4530/93523-4530-waawp-a.jpg" alt="" /> 1] http://neuropolitics.org...2] http://en.wikipedia.org...Case II: Potential War This will be rather quick. With the Blues no longer balancing the politics of the Fire Nation, it is likely to, over two or hree generations, become deep red. The Water Tribes are likely to grow deep blue. What happens when two nations of very distinct political affiliations are side by side, especially when the urban one (Blues) are split up by the Rural one (reds)? To make things worse, both sides are going to notice the "plight" of fellow reds or blues in the opposing nation. If you haven't guessed by now, we are looking at War. It can be assumed the loser of this conflict will suffer deep oppression by the Case III: The value of opposing views The most valuable thing about keeping the nation whole, is that the two sides will balance eacch other. A nation can thrive with numerous ideas, because it has numerous views to choose from. Only a fool could say that every Red belief is right, or that every Blue belief is wrong. And Vice-Versa. The Fire Nation will never be able to pass (or even consider) a more logical view if that view is Blue. By keeping the nation together, we can garner the support for the logical decision, regardless of which side of the spectrum it's on, because both sides have large amounts of support. If all else fails, we can at least debate for the best choice. You can't do that in a one party State (and yes, a nation chosen from only Red States will have one party), the choice is already chosen by the Nations political side of the spectrum.==Unitomic==
