George Washington railed against the rise of political parties in his farewell speeches. He predicted that it would lead to polarization that is terminal to a Democracy, which is what we have now. The problem is that our constitution supports a two party system with the winner-take-all elections we have. If we switched to proportional representation it would help with the two party system but it would require a constitutional amendment.
