The End of Political Parties
We need to end political parties. Why? Some people say that political parties allow people to make their voice heard to the government. But in reality, political parties really just ignore the issues and divide the people along strict ideological lines, Democrat versus Republican. Tons of people vote just because of the party, not because of the party or the candidate. Congress is stuck and can not get so many things done because the party voting blocs. There are very few people willing to work across the aisle, think John McCain, who will stretch their hand to the other party and make things better for the American people. And that is what politics is really all about, how to create a government that serves the people through sensible policies designed to benefit all citizens, not just a single class or religion or race.
Political parties lead only to political stagnation – allowing that to happen is simply to discard our wonderful democracy for nothing. A full third of all Americans are independents, and they get their views expressed perfectly fine, without political parties that label and categorize people without truly examining them. Ron Paul and Mike Gravel are examples. We also would abolish this stupid system of separate primaries, we should choose the top two candidates to face off versus one another without this extremely complicated and undemocratic, think nominating conventions and superdelegates, process of caucuses and primaries and etc. No more political parties!
