healthy debate, healthy differences......keeps people accountable in my humble opinion.

That's just it though.. to me having party affiliations does more to limit and box people in. If people just ran on their own merits and records instead of saying oh I belong to this party etc. we might scrutinize their merit and records a lot more closely.

I shouldn't have said "party" but in and of itself that's what it would boil down to.

The constitution does address democracy verses republic. We are a republic

@Pawhuska its just my stance that progress stems from rational and healthy opposition

the problems arise when you add corruption and manipulation into the mix

I totally agree with that stance completely. Political control a lot of money and can sway things badly
