Why do we need political parties?

Because most politicians fear a undivided populace.

Realistically, nothing would get done without political parties. I also prefer direct democracy, but realistically speaking, we can't have a referendum for every single issue. We need representative democracy.

But I do agree politicians use the two party system to do culture wars as a way of distracting from the issues. We should have rank-choice voting.

@BohoBabe I was so angry with the people of Oregon for voting against implementing that.

@LordShadowfire I have a feeling the voters, being stupid, didn't understand what they were voting against.
