If politics isn't a party, then what good is it? It's gotta be about people getting together, and having fun, pursuing life, liberty and happiness, and figuring out how to make this a better, more fun world to live in. After all, the Declaration of Independence says that we are endowed "by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men [ok, I have a problem with this, but the 19th Amendment kinda fixed it]......deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Except for all this stuff about "Men" instituting it, and that they were talking primarily about "white, rich men" and still thought it was ok to "own" another person, the Founding documents were headed in the right direction. That's why the Constitution is still subject to amendment.
