Why would anyone who has the capability to think for themselves join any political party? They are all about power & greed, always have been & always will. Once a Professional Politician gets elected he/she, starts the auction & the bidding begins! They then begin to alienate the citizens, unless they are "moneyed-up". The only "party" I would consider joining would be the North Korean Communist Party, & that would  be because of the threat of death upon myself, maybe...Meanwhile, "We The People" Are Now The Enemy!
