Holy shit, I wish it could. And the process could include debates first, with two or three more parties, so that people could have a real choice.Why Can't This be done
The Founding Fodder Gave Us Oats, Not VotesBecause it would be unconstitutional.Why Can't This be done
Why Can't This be done
Communism Is State Capitalism, Capitalism Is Communism for the RichYou can abolish the parties but the same people will still be there.
Which is what they need to do.
For example, the term socialist fell out of favor so they changed to liberals. Then liberals fell out of favor and they became Progressive. I have no idea what the next term will be but they need to think of one fast!
Never ceases to amaze how a message board that's supposed to be about politics draws flies from the black hole of Political Science Ignorance. SMH
Nothing was "changed to Liberals". Liberals were those who wrote the Constitution and set up this whole great experiment. We were here from the beginning; nothing needed to be 'renamed'.
"Progressives" were a socio-political movement having little or nothing to do with that, and they were here and gone roughly a hundred years ago.
Socialism was another economic-political influence contemporary with Progressives which outlasted them and remains an ingredient of governmental structure to various degrees including e.g. the fire department that douses your house when it ignites, for the common good.
--- None of which have anything to do with political parties. All of the above have been associated with either Duopoly party and with no party at all.
A political party, after all, doesn't function as a repository for a philosophy. It's simply a machine to consolidate power. That's it. And it will do that using whatever ideological approach works for that time and place.
Political parties: political ideologies. Know the difference.
You are correct, consolidating power is the key.
It is all about collectivism and power. It just so happens that the elements of socialism are the most beneficial to accomplish this task.
and yet you always support one of those parties no matter what the hell they do or say....right jones?...Government can’t ‘abolish’ political parties but there’s nothing stopping private citizens from refusing to support both major parties and refusing to vote for their candidates.
The two major parties are a problem the people alone created, and only the people can solve that problem they created.
was this that "aide" ed?....WAIT!! there is good newsYou can abolish the parties but the same people will still be there.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump is “scared to death” that the 2020 Presidential election will be decided by Americans, an aide to Trump has confirmed.
The aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Trump is panicking over a doomsday scenario in which Americans, sidelined during the 2016 election, play a dominant role in influencing the 2020 contest.
“It sounds paranoid, but, as we speak, representatives of the United States are already plotting to remove him from office in 2020,” the aide said. “They are determined to replace him with someone who takes a move favorable view toward their country.”
The aide said that the Americans, frustrated by Trump’s open hostility to the United States since taking office, will “stop at nothing” to achieve their ultimate goal: installing an agent of the U.S. in the Oval Office.
“It’s pretty clear what the Americans are up to,” the aide said. “They want a puppet who will do the bidding of the United States of America.”
While Trump has reportedly ordered his staff to do everything in its power to prevent Americans from meddling in the 2020 election, the prospect of U.S. nationals deciding the next Presidential race has clearly left the White House rattled.
“Americans are going to use voter registration, social media, and anything else at their disposal to hand the election to someone who will advance their interests,” he said. “That’s what keeps Trump up at night.”
If it were up to me a political party should be chartered, like a corporation, for a finite and nonrenewable period of twenty years. Once that term is up, you're history. Whether you've accomplished your goals or not.
After about that much time any ideology that purportedly birthed the party goes by the wayside and its entire purpose becomes self-perpetuation. Acquiring power for its own sake.
How?Abolish the concept of parties.
Make contributions to collective political entities illegal. Contributions to individual candidates only.
Defund party politics.
They'll still form parties, they just won't call them parties. Or they'll do it in secrecy. You can't stop them from working together to achieve their objectives.How?Abolish the concept of parties.
Make contributions to collective political entities illegal. Contributions to individual candidates only.
Defund party politics.
Which. Is why I said political entities, not parties.
Making contributions to any collective entities that endorse candidates illegal defunds those collectives.
They either can’t legally use donations to fund races and if they do it illegally they risk their candidates becoming ineligible by way or criminal activities.
Either way, the powers of the parties, which come down to money, is severely diminished.
Government can’t ‘abolish’ political parties but there’s nothing stopping private citizens from refusing to support both major parties and refusing to vote for their candidates.
The two major parties are a problem the people alone created, and only the people can solve that problem they created.
yep....The founders would have exiled both of our parties....or hanged them.
naw...ive seen pogo say shit about democrats before....
Link?

Yeah, there's just one little flaw in that plan. It's called the First Amendment to the Constitution. And I quote: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Basically, you have no legal right to "abolish" any private group which people wish to voluntarily form up into.

Capitalism is collectivist. The employees create the revenue and the owners collect it.
