CSM Darieus ZaGara - Why do we need political parties at all? I'm registered independent - I don't care for any political party. I think we should have more qualifications to run for office than a min age, be a natural born citizen and live in the US so many years. That's ridiculous that those are the qualifications to run for Congress or President but any other job in government you have to have so many years experience, college degree, certifications, have to be able to actually pass a background check, etc.
