Why are factions impossible to get rid of?
You can't get rid of factions without taking people's right to choose their own believes and affiliations, which would be an authoritarian state which the people of the US have always opposed. With how free society is organized and human nature, people will always form factions as well. So there is no feasible way to get rid of factions that would please anybody.
If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled?

| political parties today are a type of faction |
Since its basically impossible to control factions by removing them, the best way is limit them in a democratic way that beneficial to the will of the majority. In the American democratic process, the minority factions, being less popular have less of an influence, ideally. The majority factions have more power as long as they are coordinated well and maintain a cohesive general will. Typically they lose power after a certain point, in its own system of self checking, because after they gain large populations people naturally break apart in ideals.
