Okay, sure. There is the Democrat Party, and then there is the Republican Party. They are two legally separate organizations, each with thousands of officers legally members of those two parties. That is true even if some people use the colloquialism "Uniparty" to describe them collectively.

But that's just semantics. Point is, Kristol is saying another party other tuan GOP/Democrata is needed. And isn't that exactly what those who talk about the Uniparty urge as well?

You missed my point. By saying “third party”, he still regards the Democrats and Republicans as separate entities ideologically.

As for alleged legalities, that’s akin to regarding the Supreme Court’s kritocratic social moves of late as “legal”.

Kristol wants a third branch of the same tree.
