Power will always arise, there is no such thing as a utopia. And sorry, while America is a bad place right now, not all politicians are criminals. The sausage making in a democratic republic is ugly sometimes, but it is far better than living in a theocracy like Iran, or a dictatorship like North Korea.
The stupid is strong in this one......
Has it ever occurred to you that a government can function very nicely WITHOUT political parties?
In fact - I am willing to bet it would do better without than with.
Political parties always and forever shall have as their number 1 priority - THE PARTY....
The people governed are prioritized in line somewhere between office supplies and chlorinated bleach....
The best and cleanest form of government is a benevolent dictator. The caveat with that type of government is that it is wishful thinking. Hoping for one to arise and take over the governance of our country is foolhardy! Once a person is in power they invariably need checks and balances to assure that they work for the good of the nation and not just whatever whim guides their actions.
On another note I don't know why people find it so hard to read OLB's posts and come to the conclusion that he genuinely dislikes both parties. The OP here is simply a statement of fact but people get all wacky and start spinning bullshit out of straw!
Oh well, it looks that way to me on most of the posts here where people bring up old grievances instead of addressing the OP. I've done it too so I'm certainly not innocent.
