I'm sorry, where exactly did you see such an obviously ridiculous assertion in my posting?
What I was attempting to address was the obtuse straw man arguements that ...sigh, ahh never mind... Yeah Willmore, that was my point: You should vote exactly how a party tells you to in every election, whether you believe it or not.

Why do we still have political parties? These things have been around in one form or another for hundreds of years (not only in the US, obviously). Why do we have them? What purpose do they serve?

See, this was in my posting.
Parties exist because it gives people who tend to agree with each other collective power. Simple concept really, but too easily mischaracterized apparently.
