The problem isn’t the party, it’s the people. You ‘kill’ the Republican Party and another one just like it will take its place.
Yep, the government has no business helping the parties select their candidates. It’s an enormous subsidy to the dominant parties.The system stifles variety. What is weird, to me at least, is how the Government is so involved in the Party selection process. The Dems and Reps are extensions of the Government and not of the Members, more Institution than something organic to the Citizenry.
Probably with our B-52 bombers given the range needed. Obvi before we moved them to the PTO to bomb Japan
If Rs disappeared tomorrow, D's would split into two half's the day after tomorrow.single party is bad.
look at Mexico and the PRI.
they ruled for 80yrs.
if we kill off the R's, the D's would have majority for decades. even tho i'm a D, thats bad. you need an opposing side for checks and balances
1000%. You'd get centrist Democrats and progressives would become their own party.If Rs disappeared tomorrow, D's would split into two half's the day after tomorrow.
Movements in the upper echelons of the Kremlin...

... if the report can be believed.
Russia sounding like they might shift goalposts and focus on eastern Ukraine.
How do they plan to rebuild eastern Ukraine, and with what money do they plan on doing that? Oh, and how do they plan on not getting obliterated by a superior army wielding every weapon the west has to offer while Russian soldiers starve and defect?

I hope Putin isn't reading my posts since I suggested this as a rational strategy lol.
He doesn't plan to rebuild anything in the L/DPR. They aren't interested and now they don't have the cash. Europe should tariff all Russian goods when this is over to rebuild Ukraine.
Wow. Fucking wow lol.
Putin's exact quote: "It was always our intention to fortify the People's Republics of Donbas and Lughansk before they, too, were taken offline like Joe Rogan."

And the Republican crowd goes wild with applause and admiration of Putin...
Fox News Headline:Contrast this with Putin who is terrified to be in the same room with the highest ranking members of his own government.
Replaced with Navel Gazing 101.
We don't talk about Bruno.I wonder if the Pentagon is "helping" the Ukrainians with on the field tactics. And when I say "helping" I mean heavily heavily involved.
As already mentioned, a 2nd party would replace the GOP.single party is bad.

I've said before I suspect the Democrats would split into progressives and centrists. Sure a bunch of GOP politicians would join the new centrist party, but initially they'd have to temper themselves a whole lot. The worst crazies would not be welcome. I have no doubt that after a few decades the centrist party would again devolve into a far-right cesspool but at least for a little while I think we could get some shit done.The problem isn’t the party, it’s the people. You ‘kill’ the Republican Party and another one just like it will take its place.
