In his farewell address, George Washington warned us against political parties. He said they would form “factions of men” who’d be more concerned with their faction than for their country. Who knew Washington was psychic?

I feel like we’re seeing the shadow side of this political system pretty clearly right now. It’s all out in the open for those of us who want to see it.

Yes we are seeing that now. All the candidates loyal to the corporate establishment are endorsing the corporate candidate.

A Regressive Liberal now quoting George Washington? You guys are the ones attempting to do a complete upheaval on the US Constitution and the Founding Fathers! Stop with the Virtue Signaling!

He didn't have to be psychic. There were political parties before those in America. All he had to do was to be a student of history.

Please get yourself invited for MSM - your voice is needed. Also you are not attached. You can speak freely about the corruption in media land.

True. Who knew the #Democratic party would be the one in dire need of mental health?

Never change Marianne, I hope your voice of reason resonates eternally, regardless of what the pundits think of you. We’ve officially entered the point of the race where we’re running against others instead of propping up our own vision.

He also favored term limits. The view of Washington as Cinncinnatus speaks volumes to Washington's sense of duty and humility.

That’s nice. But tell me how we depose trump without a unified force against him?

What if all persons running for office ran as “independents”. Then, once in office they can find support from individuals for specific topics/issues one by one. Each issue would be debated on its own merits with no consideration of impact to “the party”.
