Do you think America should go back to a system without official political parties? Why or why not?

@YoungPoet345 Well, what it fundamentally, mathematically means is that you could have more than two candidates running and still end up electing the true most popular candidate. And if you can have as many parties running as you want, there's no absolute need for voters to organize into parties.
Now, they'll probably do it anyway because organization allows for coordinated campaigning and lawmaking, but at that point, we've done everything within the purview of policymakers to weaken the parties' grips.

That wont change a thing. The parties are names now. Nothing more. They dont stand for what the origially did, even on paper. And they certainly dont live up to toralues the espouse. Both parties have beem bought out by special interest groups and individual emmbers are reliant totally on those groups and others for campiagn funds and promotional opportunities. Until you get the special interest money out of politics, there isnt going to be any changes. Even then, all the get is the opportunity for change.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout that way only the wealthiest people can own politicians. And because politicians cannot be politicians long enough to earn name recognition, they are always beholden to those wealthiest of campaign donors.
Term limits only make it worse if we don't fix the problems of money in politics, campaign funding, and first past the post voting.

I think it’s all too screwed up for now to fix. It’s gonna be a while before it gets better. Especially with everything being put on hold due to the pandemic.
