I think that political parties should be done away with.
Nominations, elections, and serving in a governmental office should
remain the same, but the politicians shouldn't be tied to any political
party.
This way, there won't be any bias views expressed by the media
towards certain politicians because of the party to which they belong.
There are good and bad Republicans, and the same with Democrats; if
we took away those two labels, then there would be more peace among
the world of politics. Independents are usually overlooked in election
campaigns, but at least they aren't strictly tied to a right-wing nor
a left-wing party.
