Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

I love 1 party states when I agree with the party
Well if the gop folds then I’m sure you’d get a new 2nd party.
Why would competition continue to exist if the precedent of being able to abolish the competing party ever holding office were already set?
Nobody but you said anything about abolishing a party.
They said “should never be allowed to hold office again” which implies legal prohibition of them holding office.
Or it implies people not choosing to vote for them. Which they shouldn’t, ever, for any office.
This dude is like a straw man machine lol
He’s also everywhere on this site. I just came from reading a bunch of his terrible Bethesda / Starfield takes to find out he’s also got terrible political takes.
Seriously, dude outputs more straw than a straw bailer. I haven’t figured out if he’s subtly trolling or if he never stops to examine his arguments.
Look, as an non American I want to try and explain to you that at this point if you don’t have more then two parties there is almost no chance that you will after it is reduced to one. You needed to have more then two parties all the way back when the bull mouse was a thing. It is too late now.
Imo, US parties essentially act as coalitions of major factions within the parties.
I don’t think a one party state with internal factions can be called a democracy. I think you are describing something like China.
The different factions within the CCP are not based on ideology but instead on power.(Generally with the exception of maybe some like Zhao Ziyang) Furthermore, the major factions repress minority factions.
Yes, and you think a one party system in the US would somehow operate differently?
No? I oppose a one party system in the US?
That’s not the precedent though. The precedent is that parties that try to subvert the U.S. citizens should be disqualified immediately. That includes the current republican and democratic parties.
Do you think, by your measure, that America will ever achieve the same level of democracy as Russia?
Or is it possible that your conclusion doesn’t follow from the premise?
Looks like someone doesn’t know the difference between the US system and a parliamentary system.
I’m sorry, do members of each party not sit in all branches of government and judiciary?
Guess you were wrong with the usual exceptionalist yOu cAnT cOmpArE nonsense
Please inform yourself about how parliamentary systems work. More than 2 parties are viable in that system because parties can form a coalition government with other parties that may agree on some things, in order to keep the “greater evil” party out of power.
That’s not how it works in the US. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
That wasn’t my point to begin with, and it wasn’t that complex a point. Maybe you need to read it through a few more times.
I never said more parties means more democracy. I did say prohibiting the primary opposition party from holding office was less democracy.
You mean we should tolerate insurrectionists because we must hold up the principles of democracy until the bitter end, at which point they will eviscerate them?
It’s a wildly bad take, I’ll be honest. And hopefully you see how you missed my point.
You should ditch the electoral collage and legally dissolve both parties allowing the formation of new parties.
Nobody said anything about wanting a one party state. We just don’t want anyone to vote for a certain fascist party.

You found an American in a thread about American politics. How very perceptive of you.
Oops! You were not the person I intended to respond to, I meant to respond to the fellow you were responding to. Sorry about that.
I withdraw my snark.
You dropped your sarcasm
