Do Political Parties Do More Harm Than Good?

[JohnAdams]

In my opinion political parties limit election options because there is almost always only two major parties, and politicians only get elected from there. One last thing is George Washington warned against the "spirit of the party," in his farewell address.
What do you think about it?

 

[occupied]

I think politics would be impossible without political parties. It's the two-party monopoly on power that's screwing us up. There ought to be at least 3 or 4 major parties, if not more, that make it impossible to get a clear majority in congress.
