Partie’s will always exist. They are a natural progression of people aligning their values. You can call them different names but a ‘group of politically aligned people’ will always form.
Parties can be dictatorships, but should be a reflection of the ideal governance of the system they’re trying to run. In the US certainly nearly all parties are oligarchical dictatorships, since that’s just what the US has been from the start.
Ideally we’d have a coequal party spring up or at least a co-op party. But I fear both of those are too complicated for American brains since even PSL has a fairly strict hierarchy based on funding potential instead of merit or internal democracy.

They 100% should be. And we just took huge steps towards that
But I don’t think you’re understanding. This isn’t an analogy, the Party Chair has absolute power, and zero accountability.
That’s what all that noise with Donna Brazile was about. She was a high ranking person at the DNC who took an interim chair. She was expecting everything to be fine because that’s what the prior chair had kept saying…
Then she disclosed that the party had been bankrupt for years, and was being funded by Hillary since before the primary started which came with many strings, one of which was that Clinton’s campaign had final say on anything they DNC said.
I really think the people who don’t think the party has changed much, just aren’t truly aware of how bad shit has been at the DNC the last 30 years. Most don’t even know why it didn’t improve under Obama’s presidency
Parties are essentially dictatorships, and at the top of my list of things wrong with our system
The good part of that, is the party can change even faster than trump can destroy America.
