People have freedom of association and freedom of speech. I don't see how you can "get rid of" political parties and preserve these basic freedoms.
Also, congress's procedures aren't determined by the constitution, they are determined by congress.
Instead of suggesting you are a dreamer, I'd rather ask what your plan is. When you say "Make that illegal", who are you talking to? Is this a letter you meant to send to your congressman? I don't think this is an appropriate platform for your advocacy.
As I said in my post, people have freedom of religion, but we manage to discourage religious organizations from directly contributing to political parties.
I haven't got one. That's why this is in the Discussion section.
Religious people can make the same contributions as anyone else can. Similarly, people with party affiliations, can make statements and contributions the same as anyone else.
