The time has come to take a long hard look at abolishing the Democratic and Republican political parties. America stands divided politically, socially and economically and the seed of division has been planted in our government. Party affiliation has taken precedent over common sense and country. Republicans and Democrats alike, push and pull for power within government, taking what amounts to blood money from lobbyists, special interest groups, and corporations that have no intention of serving the greater good.

And we must do it not only for ourselves, but for our adversaries. The survival of our democracy depends on it.
Rather than excluding, Democrats are looking to bring as many into the party as they can: Democracy's many voices rather than an oligarch's one.
"His neo-fascistic tendencies make him the most divisive and scary of any serious presidential candidate in American history."
Trump said "Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution," while Bernie was talking about, "Our...new group called Our Revolution"
"Hard to believe that Bernie Sanders has done such a complete fold. He got NOTHING for all of the time, energy and money."
"I think it was a home run...if you want to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, hard to find a better selection than that"
"The Democrats are in a total meltdown but the biased media will say how great they are doing! E-mails say the rigged system is alive & well!"
The Democrats of the antebellum south are the Republicans of today, and the Democratic Party that more closely resembles the party of Lincoln
