I honestly think we should simply just get rid of the concept of Party Affiliation with our American politicians. I believe that it would force voters to be more informed on the issues. Some people have told me that this would lead to something such as a one party state. While that argument is understandable, I do think that would not happen.
People running for office should have to win over voters by convincing them they will do what the people desire.
What do you think?
If there is one party I hate more than the Democratic party it would be the Republican party. I can agree with a few policies from one side but be opposed to the rest and vice versa. There simply isn't a middle ground to choose from. Sure there are a few smaller parties out there but they lack the money, power, and influence to ever get anywhere in our two party system. The only candidate I had any interest in this election was Bernie, not because I believed in his politics but because he was an actual like able guy. He didn't have this aura of "fakeness" that seemed to be resonating off donald dump and shillary.
