    The what party? America still has more than one political party?

    Edit: I don’t mean ‘both parties are the same, you knuckleheads.’ I mean there won’t be a Democratic party by the next election. There won’t be any parties but the Republican party.

      That was already the case, remember when Harris was excited to get Republican endorsements and promised to put one on her cabinet?
