This is America it does not work that way, political parties can change, evolve, even merge, but they represent the collective desires of many.

America gives you the tools to be free, but I want the collective thought of many to be at the forefront. We just went through four years of trump, and he is still a force in the republican party, and that sucks.

It does not permit the free exchange of others, no one person represents America, that is when you get a Putin, and no one wants that.

The founding fathers are called that, their collective reasoning contributed to all of the tools necessary to build a nation that keeps bringing more and more people into the political discussion.

Freedom is represented by more freedom, not less, it is messy, everyone's freedom is defined, it is not precise, like politics it encompasses more and more.

Just say anarchy? That's all you're talking about.

Or you could simply continue with pleonasms till the enth.

Wouldn't that be a novel idea? Eliminate the obligation to adhere to a party line and be judged by what he/she believes what would be best for the country. No more House or Senate majorities. Just law, bills and nominations approved by merit, not party doctrine

ForReal, Parties there will always be. Particularly in politics as naturally those with similar ideas
understand there is more hope of getting their good ideas into practice if you are bigger than one.

As for saying it would be better. It wouldn't be.

As for any chance of it happening you might as well say it would be better if the world was a just and fair place.

What you're espousing has already been done. Just get up any Sunday morning and watch all the cars file into different parking lots so different Shamen can tell different folks very different stories about something no mortal could ever know. Not only that, but they'll say it with perfect conviction that they've turned over every rock and dispelled any questions.

Why do the religious and the political share so much bath water?

Because making people believe such BS takes a Sky-daddy and his evil brother Satan just to shore things up.

That's the Republican Party intermingled with their favourite toy.

Better yet is to do away with political parties and let those that wish to be elected be elected based on their ideas, not by how much money they can raise for the party or by how much a party can spend to get them elected.

Wouldn't that be a novel idea? Eliminate the obligation to adhere to a party line and be judged by what he/she believes what would be best for the country. No more House or Senate majorities. Just law, bills and nominations approved by merit, not party doctrine.

Free thinkers instead of party adherents. No more districts to fight over, just at large elections.

Great idea. I wonder if the Constitution would have anything to say about that.
