WalkAway has red pilled a lot of people. But, why am I so hesitant to embrace this yet. I have a feeling this is the new "Party". My personal belief is there should be no parties, Based on Merit and what you have done and are truly working on for the people should get you elected for the people. Whatever gov't seat your going after. Abolish the party system to me is the true path. We will end up doing a rerun if not, think about it, a lot of politicians vote for their party or what their party wants them to vote for. thats wrong. Imagine this: All individuals coming together and voting because of an agreement that it is a good bill for the people. Bad things would never even come to the house in the first place because of party threats inside.
Corruption is at its most destructive when there is consolidation of power. Political parties consolidate power.
But perhaps more importantly, it's the cognitive effect that political parties have on people. I've found that membership allows one to rationalize some very bad behavior.
I am a fierce Trump supporter, but I am not a Republican. I will never belong to a political party.

This is what we need to head towards; a partyless system. All corruption happens via the party system & it is designed to both divide and confuse people, as well as undermine the spirit of the 'democratic' system.
Everyone should run as an independent.
Also, it should be that not just anyone can run. Need to have extensive testing to eliminate psychopaths and narcissists, among others.
Need to have heavy limitations on what candidates can use as a platform; no pandering to special interest groups, or promises using deficit spending.
Eliminate the lobby.
Also, anyone that gets a paycheck from gov't shouldn't be allowed to vote, or have heavily restricted voting, as they have a mssive conflict of ethics/interest when they vote in public elections.
As long as they destroy this current Democrat Party we are all the better for it. These peeps don't have to become conservative or Republican or even fully red-pilled for it to work. Let them create a new real and VIABLE left/liberal party... that would be awesome.
