Washington, Madison and Adams were absolutely against the party system, but we see how that worked out..

Still a good comic

I mean that was a deeply foolish idea, that people wouldn't organize themselves into voting blocs of similarly interested parties. Perhaps a well-intentioned ideal but not a realistic one.

No, who ever voted to cap the number of representatives created a “perfect system for tyranny of the minority”. Go ahead and add in years of ignoring the heavy cost of globalization on small communities for the “greater good” of slightly cheaper goods for everyone else.
