long overdue, banish them.
Freedom of speech and association. BAN THE ASSOCIATION!
It would have been easy to limit the power of parties. If they would have divided the nation's power into more assemblies and granted the states a greater power to curtail the usurpation of their sovereign powers or those of their citizens, the parties could be more limited.
But when all the power rests in 2 general assemblies of representatives which work together to pass laws, then it is perfectly normal to maximize your power by having only 2 parties.
If for instance the power to tax was its own 2 sets of assemblies. The power to spend was its own 2 sets of assemblies. And we had other sets of assemblies for other areas such as judicial oversight, military oversight. Maybe have a singular assembly for the purpose of impeachments of government officials. Something like this would split the groups into enough areas that parties would be meaningless.
The government would not be controlling abortion for example, which is a massive reason for democrat party to exist as it does. The states would have impeached the Supreme Court Justices who said it was legal and force fed down their throats.
