“The reality is that the American eagle needs both a left wing and a right wing or he ain’t getting off the ground.” – J. Michael Straczynski

We need both. Neither is more or less correct as long as we actually want to fly.

Food for thought: an eagle has a right wing and a left wing, but the head, heart, and talons?

They’re all in the middle.

More food for thought: If the executive branch is the left and the legislative branch is the right, the judiciary remains in the middle.

Are you suggesting a presidential candidate should be paired with a vice presidential candidate of a different platform?

That's actually the way it used to be done in the earliest elections. The president was whoever won, and the vice president was the runner up.

Compromise and cooperation were far more valued back then.

Of course a bird with no wings would be a kiwi…or a dodo. We need all 3 parts.
