    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.

    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.

    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 was only joking

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

          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 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.

                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

                    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:
