In George Washington's first State of the Union Address, he warned America against using a bi-partisan system.
As far as I can see, there's no possible way the candidates that we have running every four years are the best people in the country that would want to be president, (if they are, heaven help us). I'm not saying that Independents have been better than Republicans or Democrats, but it's pretty obvious that presidential elections have come down to choosing the lesser of two morons...
So what would logically dispel the bi-partisan system? Obviously it's not two incompetent and inept candidates, 2004 shot that theory down. Is the only visible end a schism in the parties (which is a remote possibility considering the knowledge that if your party divides you lose the election). Would it take an amazing Independent?
Will it end? If so, how and when?
