The 4-way split is real, but not the same on all issues, so you can't do it on the basis of just one vote, the cromnibus, as the article does.

We're stuck with just two parties because of our plurality winner-take-all election system (with a few exceptions, e.g., 50% run-off states).

To make a major policy change, you have to take over an existing party, like the commies did to the Democrat Party.

Conservatives need to do it to the Republican Party.

Democrats are better Liberals than Republicans are Conservative, so it is easier for them. Think about it...when have you ever heard a Rat calling a fellow Rat “too liberal” or extreme?

Keep dreaming. McConnell and the GOP Elites just made taking over the GOP by Conservatives a virtual impossibility with the Cromnibus - especially that little thousand-fold increase in corporate donations permitted to the RINO PACs.

There is no taking over the GOP. They rigged it to ensure that can never happen. The GOP is working with the Democrats to make Conservatism politically irrelevant. Which is what we just witnessed with the cromnibus.

There is no stopping the lawless and the tyrants by civil means. Period.
