How about we do away with parties every 3 elections and just vote for the candidate?

How about every election we vote for the best candidate? That's the rule I've followed. I've been bitten at times, but as a whole it's served me well.

Personally, I think straight-ticket voting should be illegal across the board so people are forced to think for once about who they're voting instead of just effectively checking "Everyone R/D" like a lazy SOB.

I do not think 5% of the population would vote for the progressive platform. I could be wrong.

Most voters are too dumb and lazy to do any further research.

LOL, you put 'thinking' and the average American voter into the same sentence. Did an ACME anvil just land on your head?

Being forced into either democrat or republican because TPTB have decided that's what my choices look like doesn't feel like real participation, just cattle herding.

Too bad I'm not a Democrat and too bad I think the morons vote for both parties, your boy is not immune from the benefits of stupid voter syndrome. Obviously.

Yeah I know you keep saying you're not a Democrat, but you sure do sound like one every time I see you post.

I'm not sure who that would be however. Bloomberg maybe but he's not progressive enough.
