> There is no party less democratic than the Democratic party

This is such nonsense there's no reason to take you serious as a person. The two independents in Congress caucus with the Democrats.

> Their preferred world is a two party system where the Republicans are losing.

A private political party doesn't support other private political parties?! Definitely a first in the world.


The problem is that their revealed preference is "keep a two party system", when another choice would be "support coalitions in order to broaden the discourse and ensure the most democratic outcome possible".


A private political party does not have to support positions it does not agree with, while simultaneously losing strength to advance their own agenda.

Democrats are an organization with a specific political agenda. As are Republicans, and every other party.

It doesn't help that most of our third parties are terrible choices too.


And yet there's multiple areas where Democrats have introduced systems for getting better support for independent and third parties...

Meanwhile Republicans have pre-emptively banned all forms of ranked choice voting at all government levels in eleven states.

But do go on.


What's the preferred world for Republicans?
