yes haha I'm just trying to understand how the american system works

There's 50 different republican psrtjes

oh shit?

huh. cool.

50 different Democrat parties

just for context, there are 50 states right?

Yes

or am I retarded?

oh ok!

Well then. Seems like a pretty fitting system if you ask me.

So a Democrat in West Virginia could be more related to a republican in Oregon

Ahhhhhh!

i would call them just different branches of the republican party tho

And a Texas republican might have radical different ideas then someone from California?

different legal entities which are actually one

But they have no allegiance to other state parties, or an overarching authority

seems pretty fitting

very cool

So yeah, we have parties, but like 100+ lol

<:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

There is NO allegiance to any party

very epic

So if lets say you would run as a republican, that wouldnt really say much about the party as a whole, correct?

Right

Very cool.

But the party can't do shit if you're actually a secret commie

Yeah. Which is a problem lmao.

Cant do that overhere. <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

Cant hide your ideology. If someone finds out you're fired.

Which is good imo. I want people to be truthful. And I want the people representing the parties to actualyl represent them well.

(Thing is, if they already have a seat somewhere, and get fired, their seat is not lost. They still sit there. We call them political wildlings.)

Well shouldn't they be representing the people, not the party?

Well the parties are branches of the people, showing what different groups need and requires.

A Social Democrat and a Moderate both represent the people

That's why trump was so popular at first: he represented the people, not the party.

Mainstream Republicans hated him

but they have different ideas

We dont really have it like that, the parties are supposed to represent their people and their voters. Some parties are more populist than others though, and listen more.

Like SD for example.

Which are trying to represent many people on the right political side over here

When I run next year for commune I'll either run with my groups name, or I'll join some party. 👌
