    Exploring Washington's warning against political parties and whether America could function with no party system. We examine how elections might be reformed to combat polarization and herd mentality in modern democracy.

    Democracy Without Parties

    Miglior citazione da Democracy Without Parties

    “

    Maybe the problem isn't parties themselves, but having too few parties. When you have more choices, the stakes of any individual election feel lower and no single party can govern alone, so they have to form coalitions and compromise.

    ”

    Domanda di input

    What if American democracy changed to a no party system and how would that operate? How would elections reform and would it remove herd mentality?
