This is a theory I love to talk about. I want the abolishment of the party system in American culture. I believe that both sides brain wash their supporters into believing things they might not believe. The perfect example of this is all democrats must believe that abortion is right. I think the party system needs to go and Americans need to vote and believe in issues based of their own research and opinions.

The only thing party systems do is create a divide in people!

However, i believe that the party system has been encrypted into the minds of all Americans and this transition would be nearly impossible

Problem is, nobody really likes their own party any more.
They just hate the other party more.
So it helps define who to vote for.

Haha, that is very true. I just think people should be drawing their own conclusions not their parties. However, how can you draw your own conclusions when the mainstream media is shoving fake news and agendas down your throat....

I appreciate the sentiment of a third party observer as much as anyone, but your recommendation is simply unamerican.

Does he realize that he's in a country where people identify with sports teams based solely on location, and use phrases like "we won" when they had nothing to do with it?

Maybe he's Canadian....

ironically, just today I was thinking about pro choice/pro life, the make-up of each sides' supporters, and how I don't feel it is a true partisan politics issue.

I am of the opinion that it really isn't as politically predetermined as we commonly assume, I see more than a scattering of dissent in each party. My feeling is that other social factors play a larger role and many just aren't vocal.

My non-scientific hearsay is based on stuff like: I know many liberal Catholics in the Boston area and that group is pretty much registered Democrat and pretty well split on abortion rights.
and-
I also know many conservatives, perhaps bordering on Libertarians, who also back a woman's right to choose.

It's so personal and emotional, unlike issues like taxes, national security and stuff, that I feel it is more difficult for the major parties to get all the heads nodding at the same time on it.

Used to be both sides could get along but now everyone is so polarized deals can't be made. Some of the older congressmen have made comments that they can't even dine together at lunch to talk about legislation without being chastised by their whips and other peers.
