Ah yes, let's make the same mistake as Teddy Roosevelt and split the party, ensuring that the Democrats win a majority every single election from here on out, without even needing to cheat (although they will). That's a great idea!

Oh, this is from a new account. Probably a shill.

Agreed. It's strategically a terrible idea that would only split our voters and guarantee Democrats win everything. The better move is to clean up and take back the Republican party and that's what we're doing.

Yeah. Maybe after we clean up the party and the government as a whole, we could re-visit this idea. Although political parties are a bad idea in the first place, as George Washington remarked that they add to divisiveness in the nation.

"The spirit of party serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection."

Nobody remembers the Bull Moose party.

That's pretty much the point I'm making. If we go through with this idea, we'd end up like the Bull Moose Party.

“Never go full Bull Moose Party.”

That's the best route. If we take over the Republican Party, maybe we can rename it the Lion party or the Eagle Party.

It might work if AOC squad and socialists separate from democrats and we have four parties.
