Very well, Being. Instead of regaling us with smart-assed comments, why don't you enlighten us on how we could hold elections without having parties? Really, I want specifics, not just ideals.
EDIT: As I thought about this, I wondered, can you give me an example of a democracy without parties?

Yes, and if your frustration is with the process itself I see your problem with the current system. The parties themselves, though, aren't completely to blame. Nor is it on individuals who want to win. In the 1800's when candidates sat on their porches the parties were even stronger.
