You fell for it!

It's been corrupted with money. Most politicians have no honor, integrity nor respect for the Constitution.

America would be better without parties, and the founders feared a party system.

Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. What we can do is push our leaders to do their duty, get as much money as we can out of politics. Push for election reform.

One step would be to increase the terms of House reps to four to six years to break the constant "running for reelection" cycle. I'd also push for term limits such as 4 six-year terms. That's 24 years for the math-impaired. More than a enough for a career and retirement.

Interesting idea, but it seems the 6 year terms in the Senate have not broken the constant running for reelection.

It's slowed it down. What other solutions do you see as likely to work?

Id like to see rules about party funding of candidates and dark money.

Agreed. Citizen's United wasn't the end all. Congress simply needs to write a bill that is Constitutionally compliant while limiting money corrupting politics. The problem is they are not motivated to do so. Like Immigration, they are fine with the status quo aside from some grandstanding.

Sad but true.

IN name only.

No, Pretender. It's still there.

I defend many of the broad ideologies they stand for, I still hate both parties. The party system is corrupt.

Bullshit. You only defend your own wacky idealogies.

You are describing Democrats and yourself, Sybil.

A political party is not a system, Pretender. Political parties existed all through the revolutionary war and with the drafting and ordination of the Constitution itself.

Random words. No apparent coherency.

No, Sybil. Enforce election law. You don't get to change the Constitution on a whim.

So you want to discard the Constitution. Gotit.

You don't like green money? Sound like you want black money...perhaps with black lettering too?
