After blocking hundreds of promotions, Tuberville said the US has 'the weakest military than we've probably had in my lifetime'

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

This is why no Republicans should ever be allowed into office.

Ever.

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?

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 a 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 to somehow operate differently?

No? I oppose a one party system in the US?

Then why the odd explanation of the CCP factions? I am lost on how this is a poor analogy for a one party US. Just like in China you would have some sort of fake vernier of democracy (or communism for china) that is just objectively not true. I would imagine the US would make their one party something stupid like the freedom party or keep the democrat party name (even though by definition you can’t be one in a one party system).

Both national parties have factions big enough in them to be parties on their own. Your country and others need to stop consolidating under bigger and bigger tents with the sole goal of maintaining power.
