Agreed.

I had a great deal of further comments to make on this topic but you have totally nailed it and more. Wonderful stuff. You have a good mind and character.

I agree, but I believe some people are afraid to admit it for fear of old fashion ridicule by others, when it is the people who are offending who should be the ones carrying the shame. You're also correct on facing the realities of the facts, but that isn't stupidity but more towards the unwillingness that you mention and obstinance which then is completely out of our control,lol. All we all can do is reveal the facts, and sometimes they are definitely hard to find.

It looks like there is a growing number that would like to see an end to the two party system but the democrats and republicans will do their best for that not to happen. If a strong candidate comes forth that is independent of those two parties we could see a move toward change.

Morgan

If we didn't have parties people would be forced to simply choose by the merits, character, and agenda of the candidate, rather then simply dedication to a party line which as we see daily and is completely manipulatable. This won't stop manipulations completely but it can slow it down and certainly stop this party hatred that is expanding and dividing us.

I agree 100%

WELL STATED!

Hug

A no party or one party system is a totalitarian government.

I would also like a time limit on campaigning. How about two or three months instead of going on two years?

It would be quite a sight for a sitting Congressman or Senator to bring this up and have a discussion about it.

Morgan

No it isn't, its the complete opposite, a totalitarian government is usually ruled by a dictator, and there is very little or no freedom. In totalitarianism, the government controls almost every aspect of life.

This is why democracy is our sovereignty(our power) and the enemy of any form of dictatorship or supreme single authority, a democracy comes from the people, not from a one-party government, which is what the far right is trying to force us into. I was happy to clarify this for you Hug

After rereading this again I see you put both so you are correct when you stated a one-party system, but not in the no party, apologies.

Morgan

I agree, all should be on a term, including judges.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Definately judges...
And there should be a rotation(?)

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

You mean like Hitler???? A government that prohibits opposition parties, restricts individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life....

Is that not what some,like lets say your One World Order etc are trying to achieve??

Are we not headed for such marked by political repression, personality cultism, control over the economy, restriction of speech, mass surveillance, suppressing freedom of speech, trying to attack the second amendment, confiscate weapons and widespread use of state terrorism???

A party of the people would have vast opinions geered to the country and its citizens, not like the parties presently in reign....

Given the nature of our political climate being so engrained by our Constitution we the people must be diligent in safe guarding this great nation from tyranny, oppression and a government not for its citizens ~~in power right now, btw..

I suggest strong terms limits..
Strict adherance to thr Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independance
No lobbying of any kind
No super pacs funding
No contributions
Flat rate taxing
Smaller government, including involvement in our lives
Take the money payoffs out of the equation snd term limit people ...
We have the best system in the world but it sure does need an overhaul upgrade on how things are done and who controls what...

Finally, “I think there’s a socialistic impulse, I hear every day, in every kind of community.. think ortez, sanders, Omar, who is lethal snd how that one got in office is a mind bender, Bill de Blasio, that guy in Texas,Bynum, and that woman from Hawaii, Ing, I think her name is....Socialism is on the rise and only growing... You like it have at it.. I do not...

History shows that the only way to “improve” people’s lives is to not impede their freedom....

Hug

Good point. Washington did not want parties, but how is that achevied considering human nature?0

As the "Iron Lady" so eloquently alluded "socialism is great until you run out of other people's money".
