I personally hate the political party system. I would like it more if there were no political parties and US Senators had term restrictions. In order to get their views across they could write books stating what their positions were and the career politicians would only be in the state governments and the House of Representatives.

It is just titles that they use to appeal to certain groups. They stop using titles and start stating their actual views.

the established political parties arent interested in freedom. they want control. if youre going to vote, you need to vote for the party that is going to control you in a way that is more tolerable than the other. the way i see it, the majority of politicians in the majority of political systems around the world are interested in power and money. in america we have the repubs and the dems. two sides of the same damn coin.
