Politics is a temporal institution, therefore readily replaceable.
Man has created more than a hundreds of them since the 18th century,
including Federalists, Whigs, Free Soil, Farm-Labor, Liberal, Socialist,Tea
and none are missed because their human link is to faddish ideology!
Principles, in contrast, are timeless and the link to the values that created
the nation/state.
We will find our way out of our self-created morass, if & when we re-embrace
our founding principles and flush politics along w/their representatives
down the commode, where they belong. All of them.
