I have always felt that democracy would be better served if when very close elections occurred a monitoring process were to kick in to ensure that a country's laws and very tenents of incorporation are preserved. I imagine that was part of the thought process when, in the case of the USA, the Supreme Court was envisaged. In that case, had the founders imagined a time when a controlled party structure would come into existence they might have made the Supreme Court a proactive entity rather than reactive.
Only when there is a close election are there problems with vote fraud or corruption.
Give it a rest bunkum.
You do realize that Thomas Jefferson and others were founders and also belonged to political parties. Maybe you should read what they said in toto instead of carping like Obama or the Notorious RBG about how bad the constitution is.

What does BH stand for? Anti-Americanism for one things. Anything else? We can't tell because BH speaks in high minded generalities and will not get pinned down for what he believes in or what the best candidate might be.
Which leads me to conclude that BH is a fuckwit.

You do realize you missed the nuance?
Nah, you were straight forward in your anti-American tactics.
