A bold move? Or an honest thought that should be considered by everyone?
Political parties destroy the relationship between those who are elected and those who elect. Political parties seek to divide the nation into two main groups, and a few other groups considered crazy and out of touch with the majority. The two main parties dominate the political sphere, and it has created an atmosphere that has ruin debate and created a system in which your views don’t matter as much as what party you are in.
Take for example:
- If you are a Republican, than you must be a right-wing religious gun-loving American. You wish for less government in the social sector, while at the same time would love to expand the defense of the nation all at the same time lowering taxes and promising to stay within the budget. You love your guns and you especially love God. Anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, but pro-death penalty and pro-business. Your hero has to be Ronald Reagan, and you probably love him almost as much as you love Jesus.
- If you are a Democrat, than you must be a left-wing socialistic America. You believe that the government should have more power all around, but would probably be less likely to go out and bomb people across the world. You believe that Universal Health Care and spending over the budget can only make the country better. You obviously must hate guns and the death penalty, but you’re pro-choice and you would love to see homosexual marriages in every state, and you’re probably willing to force those opinions down the throat of the whole country.
