So why doesn't America stop using political parties?

From the parties perspective:
Power.  Power is more more easily obtained and retained when it is centralized between limited options. 

From the constituents perspective:
Apathy.  It allows people to simplify their political energy.  Hours of research on a candidates' political platform or simply looking at which letter is beside their name?



To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
