I oppose a one party system in the US? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
