There is an extreme tragedy in government today. It seems that no matter how much arguing, discussion, and "bipartisanship" that goes on in Washington, the major parties still cannot agree on solutions. They remain united against or for different measures, regardless of what the American people, or even at times their own districts, believe is right for the country.
Instead of having a strong alliance and loyalty to party, we should instead have loyalty to our country. If we put aside what our party (or some other special group's) interests, we can get more done. We are all individuals, individuals with great ideas. In order to have all those ideas spread and nurtured, congressmen need to not always conform with their party. The same should be for everyone. Instead of rubber stamping the party doctrine, we need to have open minds, listen to, and discuss people's own individual ideas.
The same goes for us too. Do not simply agree with whatever we have to say. Come up with your own ideas. Voting for a party or even a candidate based on a single or handful of issues is not prudent. Let everyone's ideas and opinions come out into the open. We daresay that with less people conforming to their party ideas, we might come up with some better solutions.
