The Republican and Democratic Parties are no longer vehicles for effective political representation but rather obstacles to effective political representation, of the people that is. The Democratic-Republican Party is quite an effective vehicle for the representation of its own interests and those of its corporate paymasters. Ideally, a multiplicity of parties should be developed to properly represent the diversity of interests of the people of the United States, which are multipolar, not bipolar, rather than continuing to pretend that the false choice between the Democrats and the Republicans is a choice at all. The Democratic and Republican Parties exist first and foremost to represent themselves and to maintain and reproduce their hold on political power in the United States. The argument in favor of infiltration presupposes that the Democratic and Republican Parties can be "fixed", indeed many seem to believe that this can be done over the course of one or two election cycles. And then they call third party and independent activists utopians!
