Do we really need political Parties? Republocrats? The Swamp is Everywhere... Let's go Independant, and later RIC as i see it, there is actually only one party in congress, the republocrats.  the swamp is everywhere. who the fuck needs parties?  lets have people, not parties. independants.  for every bill they want to get through, they need to do the work; explain, convince, get support from other independants, instead of having this automatic 'support every BS of my party'. i dont think the founding fathers intended for professional politicians.  in the far away past, it was 'normal' citizens who left home and profession, in order to serve the country for a few years, to then return home to their lives again.   nowadays, politics seems to be a life-long profession, designed to legally get crooked and rich - AOC made it perfectly clear here https://youtu.be/TJlpS4vhKP0 , and what sounds like a direct attack on POTUS counts for every congress(wo)man and president. on the long run, lets change over to RIC (yellow vest idea), citizens referendum.  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/01/03/80-percent-of-french-back-yellow-vest-citizen-referendum-initiative-proposal/ every citizen can bring up an idea for a law; if it gets a certain percentage of support (3%?), it moves to referendum stage. if it gets over 50% of the (legal) votes, congress has to put their lawyers onto it and implement it. meaning, we vote for laws, not for people, not for parties.  and if state servants dont serve the country, we vote them out of office. i talked the idea over with my teenage son and could see from his arguments that he already thought and talked about it. in order to have citizens referendum more frequently, we need 1. consciousness coupled with self-responsibility, 2. true information, and 3. voting security. point 3:  normal computers wont do, the hacks are already pre-designed.  going to a polling station wont do, too,  people dont want to do that every few weeks or so.  the kid suggest voting computers in everybodies neighborhood that people can easily reach on their way home (remember the telephone booths from the past?).  these computers are not connected to anything but voters central so they cannot be hacked. point 2: we would also need some kind of test, as in respoding to 6 questions or so, in order to show that we actually know what this referendum is all about.  if someone is too uninterested or dumb to even know the basics about the matter, they are not allowed to vote (democratic meritocracy).   (btw, voter ID is certainly a pre-requisite. the US is below 3rd world standard without voter ID; almost every other nation in the world has vote ID, its a logical necessity.) point 1:  the great awakening is happening, slowly slowly people wake up and gain more awareness and consciousness.  when folks start becoming self-responsible  - as in refraining from getting stuck in blame for those they feel enslaved by (victim consciousness) and moving towards envisioning and co-creating a world that works for everybody - , we the people will be ready to implement self-responsible co-governing of our nation.  self-governance. what y'all think?
