    I’ll never understand why people think a party controlling politicians is ideal…

    Voters should control politicians, and especially for Senators recall votes should be a thing

      Parties are a useful shorthand for their beliefs. It would be an unreasonable burden for voters to have to do the level if research required for all elections if there were no parties.

      Further, national, statewide or even local government would not function as efficiently as there would be groups of people without agreement at every level.
