The wisdom of George Washington is proven correct. He was against political parties. Let them all run as Independents and not beholden to towing the party line or arm twisting tactics. Term limits are a must.
I like the Democrats just the way they are.
It’s up to us to make it right and it ain’t happening.
No parties, what a dream that would be.
It can never happen now, they are too entrenched and powerful and too many citizens are in thrall to their tomfoolery.
I would support a constitutional amendment to ban political parties within our government.
Craft the amendment to read that all those seeking public office, and every person appointed or hired by the federal government, must renounce their allegiance to all political parties.
Make it unlawful for any office holder or federal public servant to have any contact with partisan political groups of any kind. Make harsh and ironclad penalties for violation of these rules, and enforce them ruthlessly.
Maybe then our republic will have a hope of survival.
The parties used to be necessary in order to have the organization to fundraise and spread one's message, but with the internet today I don't think that applies very much anymore. President Trump was so cost effective using twitter where Jeb and Hillary had to buy an infinite amount of ads to try to even the coverage.
