dr-azhar.bsky.social @dr-azhar.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I don’t think that’s right, for the same reason that every third-party in America struggled. As soon as they start getting votes, the Republicans will just switch harder in on white supremacy. (and the weakness of parties means that it’s easy to get that done)  010

dr-azhar.bsky.social @dr-azhar.bsky.social · 13/07/2026It’s a lot easier to take over a local Democratic or Republican Party and it’s a lot harder for central party to screw you over than it is in the UK. Therefore, changing things in a local party is far more durable affecting the US. To do the same UK, you need to get a massive surge, and then win. 110
dr-azhar.bsky.social @dr-azhar.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I think it’s far more of the first one than the latter, I also think that the right wings love a various Middle Eastern adventures isn’t a economic policy.(any more at least I think it was at one point which is why Trump still talks about it as if it is) 200
dr-azhar.bsky.social @dr-azhar.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Yes, that’s because the UK has a strong centralised political parties and systems. This is a discussion about the United States which does have very weak parties compared to basically every other democracy (with various pros and cons.) 1110
