Show me in the Constitution where it mentions political parties. The founding fathers never envisioned private clubs deciding who does and does not get to wield political power in this country.

Nor did they envision women voting ...

The standard should be getting the most citizens to participate in the election by voting. Instead it is a raw and corrupt grab for political power in backrooms.

SLIGHT correction: The standard should be getting the most *INFORMED* citizens to participate in the election by voting.

IMO, what we have here is a spotlight on the ol’ Boss Tweed....Meet the new boss.
