That's what I said 2 hours ago. Do try and keep up, grandad.

I was actually replying to Jolly, who brought up Great Britain.

We care a little bit about what Ireland thinks, but that's about it...

There's a reason...In that system, a small faction of votes can be bartered for political gain. In the U.S. system, that is much, much more difficult.

There is a reason the two major parties have a Majority Whip and a Minority Whip in Congress, and it has nothing to do with Cat's handcuffs and ball gag.

We care some what the Scots think too.. But that's only because we think their dresses are nice...

I'd be prepared for a rude awakening if you ever get drunk and try lifting one of them up.

[Larry]

But the Welsh..... nah...

Hey, they can sing!

[Doctor Phibes]

Boy, can they ever sing. When I lived in Cardiff I'd walk past this little chapel on a Sunday morning - unbelievable. Truly wonderful

A Scotsman walking home from the pub passes out on the side of the road. The next morning a group of school girls walking to school see him laying there on the side of the road passed out. One of the girls says she's always wondered what was under a guy's kilt. They giggle, then one of them lift up his kilt and they all take a peek. As they giggle a little more, one of the girls takes one of her hair ribbons and ties it it a bowtie around his Johnson, then they all go on their way to school.

Half an hour later the Scot wakes up. As he's gathering his wits, he can feel something of his Johnson, so he takes a look. He says "weeel laddie! I dont know where ya been, but i see ya won first prize!"

The two major parties in Britain have Whips in parliament, too.

It's pretty much a 2-party system in the UK too, despite what Nigel Farage might want to have us believe.

I am curious as to how you arrive at that observation about the British system. Can provide a specific example or two?

[xenon]

The US seems like it was designed, or at least started, as a non-party system (Washington’s two terms had no parties).

The CSA had no parties during its 4 years of existence either.

[Loki]

Seems like the Lincoln Project feels boxed in with no place to go.

Sorry not every start up works out. Now Fvck off and stop trying to take down others with you.

[xenon]

@Loki the people involved in the Lincoln project are political operatives.

To the extent that their influence campaign seems to have had an effect - the individuals will be just fine.

[jon-nyc]

Like most political operatives, high level ones anyway, they had interests in the media buying and production companies they used for their ads. So they got paid while working for a worthy cause.

Everybody wins. Well, except Trump. lol

The problem is, they are now radioactive.

but it is treasonous to your party to start up crap like the Lincoln Project

No it’s not. As you have said, party philosophy changes.

What is considered Republic/Democrat today is different from Republic/Democrat from 20-40 years ago.

Nothing wrong with wanting change.

Do you simply do not understand politics? Or party discipline? If the party becomes nothing but a herd of cats, nothing can be accomplished. And if you aren't in power, you accomplish much less than if you are.

This is not Great Britain. There are no wild-ass factions that can carve out their own little 5% and be effective.

Jolly,what I was thinking of was that the republican party of five years ago is probably different than the republican party of today.

Was President Trump responsible for that? Probably yes. Was he treasonous for trying to change the party? No, I don’t think so

There are current people within the Republican Party who don’t like the change. So they are going to change, or want to change what it has become. That is all

Yes, and yes.
This is a nice illustration for both:
