Its less silly and more insidious when you consider that its a system made up by wealthy slave owners to keep themselves rich and in power back when 90% of people were illiterate farmers.

wtf. Posts like this are so strange to me.

The intent was never an "insidious" thing - it was to avoid political influence on judges. It's not people from the 18th centuries fault that modern America is its own enemy - they could not have foreseen the GOP wanting power at all costs, including destroying its own people.

George Washington tried to warn us about political parties, and Adams and Jefferson immediately fucked that up.

Yes, a one party state would be better

Have you considered the possibility of a no party state? Washington did.

Go on, how does that work?

Exactly as Washington suggested.
No factions, no national committees, just individuals making arguments.

Especially when you factor it.

1. You can't vote them out
2. They either die or retire. Meaning they all last for 20-30 years with 0 change.
3. They are wealthy and all come from the same elite schools. No. Seriously. They all went to Harvard/Yale/Columbia

Etc
