An excellent article.

If we are to actually "debate the alt right," the elephant in the room is the extent to which the Republican party (and occasional democrats) have made this increasing wealth for the 1% happen. Vote the old Republicans out of office and try new politicians. Attempts to tax the 1% and limit their power - as in the recent voting rights bill that was filibustered to death by Republicans - are normally arranged by the Democrats. That's the only party that can help the 99% at the moment, and they're stopped with corrupt practices by the right-wing politicians. Fuck everyting about these right-wing, greedy assholes. Will this do for part of the debate?

What are you smoking? We've always attacked the GOP establishment. Do you even know what the "Alt" in Alt-Right stands for? And the Dems are just as corrupt. You sound like a DNC hack.

The alt right who do not vote for one of the two leading parties are definitely supporting Republicans, and the other alt right will ONLY vote Republican. Everyone in the alt right support Republicans, and especially alt right Republicans. No one in the alt right would ever support a Democrat. Those who think they are not supporting Republicans when they're alt right are wrong.

If it's not clear who the alt right support, read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right

The effectively two-party system in America tends to create an unfortunate rift between what one supports (i.e. in one's heart and mind) and what one votes for (i.e. in the voting booth).

Yes - this is a serious problem, one that is mentioned periodically. What's important in this case is to consider the potential solutions to the 2-party system. Strategic voting in smaller districts can help. Libertarians have shown how this can work, but they are also famous for not legislating once they get a seat. They're not only useless, they help the Republicans by agreeing with everything they want. It's a ridicuoous party. At the national level, votes will only matter for candidates who are electectable. At the local level, there are 3rd party candidates who can win elections.
