America needs a new political party. Both of the current ones are bad. Republicans are way too reactionary, Democrats are pro-censorship, and both are getting more extreme. Neither appropriately represents an average person.

Like I said, we need a new political party with smart, trustworthy people. They should all sign like a contract which puts restrictions on them, like being transparent and not taking donations. If they break the rules, they’re legally required to resign. That’s my personal idea.
Well, in most countries, it’s not up to politicians to “agree” to not take bribes or to not lie, as most would not agree. It needs to be a rule/framework pushed for by the people who should be demanding these types of reforms. Think about it: the president of the United States can campaign and promise something to voters, only to get into office, say “I lied” and do the exact opposite. How is that democratic??
If they signed that contract, it could also include a requirement to publish what you’re going to do if elected, and then do that if elected. If you don’t do it, you’d be forced to resign
It should be every political party (not just one new one). There should be many more than 10, ideally considering that they represent 400 million people with diverse ideas and perspectives. The parties would have to negotiate/compromise more, which would be good 
I don’t think any current party would be willing to do that. The GOP and DNC are practically owned by billionaires and companies.
Also, the U.S. political system is set up for two major parties, because it awards seats in Congress and the presidency with a winner-take-all method. Candidates running for Congress need only to get a plurality of the vote to be elected. This makes it hard for small, poorly funded parties to win.
That’s why it should be the law.
The winner-takes-all system should also be reformed. That’s what has prevented a third party from forming for the last 200+ years!!
