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.

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.

Yep, the government has no business helping the parties select their candidates. It’s an enormous subsidy to the dominant parties.

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?

At this point Ukraine should just rename Mariupol as "Putingrad" and "gift" it back to Russia. Let them rebuild the rubble with their rubles (though the rubble is probably worth more lol!)

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."

Backpedaling a disastrous series of decisions to actually achievable goals.

This coupled with Russian impatience over negotiations makes me think they throw in the towel soonish.

I wonder if the Pentagon is "helping" the Ukrainians with on the field tactics. And when I say "helping" I mean heavily heavily involved.
We don't talk about Bruno.

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
As already mentioned, a 2nd party would replace the GOP.

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.
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.

I dunno though, Americans really really really love getting fucked by the American healthcare system so who fucking knows.
