This whole Republican vs Democrat thing is just a big game of grab ass.

I think as a citizen, it's best to just live your life and ignore the children fighting in Washington. Because that's what they all are, is children wearing fancy clothes.
 
Agreed, Skeet. It's time we stop letting the politicians ruin our lives with their deceptions. We are so much better than that.
 
You kids have a good point. The Democrat party has become the un-American communist socialist party. The Republican party has become the party of spinless wimps. Both parties should be replaced with a Constitutional Conservative party. You kids just may be smarter than people give you credit for.
 
It's like watching someone interview themselves with a mirror...hehe...
 
if you have only one party who stands against them at elections? it'd be like a one party dictatorship.
 
Parties period need to end. I think both the DNC and the GOP did a pretty good job of destroying their own parties in 2016. Lets keep it up in 2020!

I picture it as there still being elections and candidates still debating each other on the issues in front of the masses.

But in the current system it's like a bunch of 3rd graders have formed two cliques and are hurling immature insults back and forth and not really doing much else.
 
I'd be all about a Constitutional Conservative party.

I want: campaign finance reform.

Term limits on Congress critters. 4 two year terms, and you are out.

Probably way too late, but bring down the debt. If its going to cause a crash, have the guts to do it and get it over with. Stop piling unpayable debt on my children and grand children (God willing).

Corrupt politicians prosecuted, I want to see some do some time. Set an example. Be brutal about it. Not corrupt because one party doesn't like their politics, corrupt because of proven, prosecutable broken laws. Catch them in the act? Drop the friggin hammer.

More choices in elections. More independents, more regular folks able to run.

A hard ceiling on lobbying. You can give this much in a year, and no more.

Transparent donations. You run for office, your donations and the amounts run on a ticker tape at the bottom of the screen every time you are on TV.

An anti war movement. Not anti domestic defense, not anti military, just anti interventionist. Let's take a break for say, 8 years. I get that there are genuine National Security concerns, and good reasons to exert influence across the globe, but lets take a step back for a minute or two.

Government should do defense, infrastructure, and trade.

That would be a good start IMO. First things first, campaign finance reform. That has to be first, without that, nothing else gets done.
 
One law added to the constitution.. Congress shall pass no laws that they themselves are exempt from. All such laws are immediatly repealed. That would take care of so many problems right there. Social Security, Affordable Care Act, Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), Investigatory subpoenas to obtain information for safety and health probes and overtime pay for there employees. There are a few others, but these are the biggest.
