Partisan bickering has crippled our government. Political parties exist to insure we only have candidates dedicated to making the other side look bad, instead of working for the betterment of all citizens. Eliminate ALL political parties, and have candidates run solely on their own supposed ethics and convictions.
Going into the 21st Century, it is a shame and a travesty for the greatest nation on Earth to be governed on the Neanderthal level of "Me side good. You side bad. Uggh."
