George Washington quoted on the danger of political parties...

George Washington On The Danger Of Political Parties | The Original Republican

"It serves always to distract the public councils, and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another"

This magnifies the state of our current two party political system and a window into what is truely happening. With such a diverse group of views, beliefs, cultures, and walks of life I think the Democrat AND Republican politcal party dominated government is not truely representative of the common American citizen. This us against them mantra very much generated by the hysteria and toxicity of the current media and irreverant politicians and anyone else gullible enough to buy into the BS as pitting one against another with ultimately lead to our downfall.

I think George Washington said it better than anyone. Discuss...
