It makes it harder to create an established entity, because they'd constantly need to recruit players as opposed to relying on celebrity status. That being said, I definitely do agree that the problem is a far deeper rooted one. I think the DNC and RNC need to be absolved..... Not sure how that'd work, though.....
Instead of parties, everybody could run as an independent, but that in itself poses a few issues. The establishment can just flood the ballots with 10, 15, 20, or more highly funded faux candidates to create the illusion of choice - a controlled opposition of sorts. That being said, it's not like they don't already do this, but at least with two parties with their own filter of candidates, these party lines cater more directly to at least two prevalent schools of thought rather than the same idea thanks to bullshit campaign funding.
This is gonna sound nutty, but it's just a very rough idea. Just throwing shit to see what sticks. But what if candidates ran on issues a through z anonymously, then Americans were polled nationwide to select which issues are most pressing and how they'd personally like it dealt with? Then the candidates (then-anonymous) that would make it through to the primaries would be based around how many of these key issues they listed they'd campaign on? Like I said, just a thought that clearly needs some work.
