Give me an example of a government with no ideology. The idea is fascinating, but I don't see how that government even forms.
The problem is not government per-se. The problem is the people that are in it.
We elect ideological lemmings that tow the ideology in absolute servitude to the party.
Gone are the days of a moderate republican, or the dixiecrats.
Or a fiscally conservative democrat, a republican that accepts abortion, or thinks military spending should be cut, or any one that can compromise.
You sign up and are part of the team, and make apologies or ignore the wingnuts on the far side.
We are no longer We the people, it's Us versus Them.
I yearn for the purple party, but it is not going to happen. The parties have gerrymandered their existence into perpetuity. The know where their members live down to the zip code, probably even further, and they choose their voters, not the other way around.
