"More thought leaders recognize that nearly all of us lose out in today’s sectarian winner-take-all world, one in which the parties have entered a death spiral that leaves huge problems poorly addressed or completely ignored."
The priority of elected officials should be representation of constituents - not growth of or maintaining political party dominance. Governance should be at the lowest level by those most aware of the issues. Currently, there is too much influence on state and local elections by the national political parties.
Terrible idea. You could end up with someone who is NO ONE's first choice.
