I say all this, not to argue who's position is or isn't right, but to illustrate how as a country, our two party political system that relies on there being opposite sides, continues to fail us, as it has for a long time.  One of my answers to "fix this" is to do away with political parties and install term limits, but this is way easier said than done.

So what would you do that would be so much better?

Didn't I say eliminate political parties and have term limits? You don't need a political party to tell you what to be supporting so you can stay in their good graces. Everyone running for office should be able to figure out what will serve the interests of their constituency without a political party telling them what that should be. And I believe we should reinforce the idea that elected office holders are there for others, not themselves, and that this can be done with term limits.
