Boo hoo. Chicken shit Republicans can't organize their caucus and blame Democrats for failing to elect THEIR leader.
Goddam children.

Why would the Democrats break up?
They have a pretty small fringe group of Social Democrats/leftists that are virtually powerless and easily controlled.
The grownups are in charge on the Dem side.
Its easier for the minority to stay together. There are fissures there too, just not as open.
Its just group dynamics. If there was a Centrist Party option, some Dems would leave.
I would not mind seeing coalition government.
We don’t have the mechanisms for coalition govt. if you’re talking about having 3+ competitive parties. It would be a disaster under our Constitution.
From George Washington's Farewell Address:
"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
Was he a prophet or what?

Democrats garner the majority of votes in every election.
The only reason they are in a slim minority in one chamber of Congress is due to gerrymandering.
They haven't lost the popular vote in a national election in more than a decade.
They have held it together better than the R's, I will say that, but they have divisions as well. When they get majority again, those divisions will come out more.
Heck, look at the Israel-Palestinian issue.

I watched a show about it during Covid - probably 2020. The hosts could barely believe it when the students explained this to them. Glad at least ONE thing got fixed there.

It almost feels like we're witnessing the formation of a 3rd party. The Republican party is so broken

That would be the best case scenario. The two party system is in shambles. It's beyond time for serious reform.
Call them divisions, wings, factions, but sure they exist. It’s only natural.
but i don’t think they’re at all in danger of becoming debilitating as they have for the GOP. What’s happening now, has been coming for years.
I received my wish, Gym is now a 3 time loser.
He’s asking for solutions yet he voted for Jim Jordan and still blames Democrats.

The 2 party system is not in shambles. The morons from the Maga party that they let infiltrate their party have left it in absolute shambles. They’re not serious people. They’ve accomplished nothing the entire time they’ve been there. The Gym Jordan’s, MTG, Gaetz, etc. they are freaking posers. This had to happen at some point where the Maga part of the party was going to leave them in shambles. They’ve done it to themselves. Dems are currently in great shape. Just sit back and watch these losers fight amongst themselves.

He's already disqualified himself by admitting he is friends with and voted for Jim Jordan.

Half day today, off on Saturday and Sunday. Likely half day on Monday. There will be a candidate forum on Monday. They will try for another floor vote on Tuesday.

Find anyone who’s ever defended gerrymandering, we’re all aware that both parties do it. You’d be hard-pressed to find two states that are done worse than North Carolina and Wisconsin, in which despite effectively being nearly tossups in statewide elections, in the state legislatures the GOP has veto proof majorities. That shouldn’t be possible.
