When we get back to both parties providing legitimate candidates that have the experience and instead of always trying to get re-elected, are working for the good of all the people, we will have pure democracy. I think the biggest contributor to the problem has been lobbiest...who spend and push hard to get more than what they want. The second biggest contributor is the media who are mostly out to get that exclusive breaking story....but dissecting speeches and reports to words out of context that can be made explosive and sell more air time or subscriptions. Both are troublesome on both sides of the 'isle' creating more division. Unfortunately I do not have the cure, only the symptoms.

To me two possible cures.
Term limits so public office is not forever
A third political party to help these people remember whom they work for.
