George Washington on Political Parties.

[Dr. Acula]

Despite the fact he was a slave owning cac, this shyt is unfortunately very prescience

"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

FAREWELL ADDRESS | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1796

Unfortunately, I think political parties will always be a consequence of the first amendment. There is no way to rid our country of them.

We need to fundamentally change how voting takes place. Rank choice voting sounds like a good fix to some degree.
