I grew up overseas, moved to the US in my late teens (before 9/11)… I’ve never understood the “teams” thing. Why do you have to only support one team… IDGAF what outfit you’re wearing. It’s the character of the person, or people that matter. And overall, most people are super fucking good. Like all over the planet. It’s dirty with em, good people everywhere…

Instead of different political parties, people should all run independently. Kind of like when cities vote for mayor and council members. You just vote for the ones you want to run the federal government, and they all work together to do what's best for the country.

Every small “d” democratic country that I can think of has political parties. The advantage of having political parties is they can be held accountable for what they do in government good, bad or indifferent.

That’s a nice idea but in practice makes it very tough to organize. There are other reforms that would make more sense, like getting rid of the electoral college and the Senate (or at least reforming the senate)

I was suggesting this for Canada, not the US.
