"Our founders didn't expect Americans would ever vote for a party "

Nuff said.

To begin with, the Constitution did not provide for any political parties. It’s not that the Founding Fathers didn’t think about them but, to them, even the word “party’’ was anathema. They preferred a presidential election, the linchpin of our political system, in which the top vote-getter got to be president; the number two man, vice president. Why would you need parties?

Actually they explicitly worried about demagogues and scoundrels being elected. That's why they built in checks and balances and limits on power into the Constitution. You're ignorant as well as intolerant and hateful.
