"The best thing that could happen to this country would be to abolish political parties and PACs completely, and outlaw lobbyists entirely."
I'll agree on PACS and lobbyists. Political parties are different. It would be unconstitutional to not allow certain groups of people to meet and band together based on a common political platform. Not listing the party on the ballot and taking away the straight ticket would decrease a lot of the power of parties and would be constitutional.
