IMO the problem is that the political parties (specifically party whips) have gotten so good at making politicians tow the party line (Just look at the impeachment trial where 51/53 Republicans voted against EVERY SINGLE WITNESS) that we aren't voting for specific politicians and their beliefs anymore (except president) we are instead voting for the party, i.e a vote for a republican senator is a vote for EVERY republican belief for better or worse and vice versa

How did it get like this though, where did the promise of American democracy go? The founding fathers would be turning in their graves to see this monstrosity we've become.
