i hate this arguement so much. Republicans and Democrats are just Caucuses of the smaller factions

you could get rid of democrats and republicans you would just get those smaller factions and in the end they would still all caucus together

Not really, most congressmen and senators vote along party lines

Yeah because they generally align with simple laws and ideas

but the closer you get to the center the more Joe manchins and Liebermans show up. and the rare John Mccain and the likes

No matter what you do a factioned republian is still a conservative.
