We have a three party system really, counting independent, but do you believe in it? Do you like the fact that we are separated by belief is good, or do you think that there aren't enough parties, or that there is no point in being separated. Please exxxpplllaaiiinn your thoughts.

We have a two party system that only works for the politicians and coporate interests. There is really just one party, the party of the rich. Until the US gets a third party that represents workers there can be no freedom.

I believe in our current political party system (and by the way there are more than three, see below) However it is far from perfect. I for one can not see a viable alternative. If there were no political parties at all and everyone was left to just throw their hat in the ring, the very wealthy would have an even bigger advantage in controlling the entire government system than they do now. I think that maybe the electoral college needs to be looked at and revised. Maybe we should look at a national popular vote? But that could have problems also.
Maybe we should return to the system used in the continental congress and just select our state representatives and let them choose the president? That way we could concentrate on really getting to know our representatives and what they stand for instead of what FOX and CNN tell us they stand for. There would also be a much better chance money and propaganda would not control the outcome of an election and that the common person would have a chance. I'm not saying this is the best way I'm just thinking of other ways the system could be run.
Very good question.

No , individuals are actually not " so " stupid to have self assurance in a 2 social gathering equipment . 2 events makes polititions focus on the real themes . once you have a multy-social gathering equipment ; you decrease the possibilty of any social gathering having an usual majority . you have minor events in a coalition focusing on periferal themes , which slows up government . in case you bypass the full way like Italy , with some sixteen events all aiming in diverse guidelines ; you have a stalemate , effectively a parliament yet government in basic terms in call . that's extra applicable to have a central authority of of course seen regulations , that the persons can hate and not vote for next time .

We have more than three parties in the US. Greens, Libertarians, Reformed. Independents are not a party. They are independent of parties.
In the US we have the right to choose a party or no party. That is freedom. By nature, there can be only so many political philosophies. So there cannot be many parties.
I like the system the way it is. I can vote for whomever I choose.

No, because I dont believe in representative democracy. Democracy only functions as intended in small, all inclusive direct voting groups, which is impossible in a modern postindustrialized world. The only reason the U.S. has retained a voting process at all is to give its citizens a sense of agency. The people we vote for today are not held culpable for their claims whatsoever, and they are so far removed from their constituencies that even if they wanted to they would not be able to act in a manner consistent with the peoples wishes. add the fact that one has to pretty much have access to billions of dollars to even think seriously about running for office and you have in effect a complex oligarchy in the guise of representative democracy.

It just happens, factions of like interest groups congeal into parties. It is just a human phenomenon. I think it is good that we have only two parties. France has 26 and their politics is just chaos. I'm not sure if I like the fact that we are separated by belief, we just are. In a free society we are free to disagree and so, become separated.
In example, to gain power, the Democratic party offers people
welfare, allows unions to extort from their employers and basically robs our producers to gives to the non-producers. So it appeals to those who feel the government should take care of them. These people then congeal into a faction and the Democratic party caters to them.

The party system is destroying the unity of the Americans because they want to advance their interests at all costs that is prejudicial to the public.

The main problem is that your political field represents lobbies and not the people.
People should have to chose whether they want to represent and work for specific interests (as consultants) or for the American people (as elected politicians).
There is an obvious conflict of interests.
(Just my opinion, after all its your country, I have no say about it and you are 100% free not to agree with me or even not listen)
