"The GOP Is No Longer A Political Party"

If voting was mandatory in the US, the US would be a one-party state: the Democrats would be in charge forever

I like the idea of mandatory voting, assuming that one of the ballot options is "None of the above."

Good idea actually. It won't work in Australia but sure the US could do that, but that would mean an informal vote. There'd still be a government no matter what.

Australia is like a 6-party state with the 2 major parties being the Australian Labor Party (the Centre-Left party) and the "Liberal" Party (the Centre-Right to Right Wing party). The other main parties include the National Party (Right Wing), Australian Greens (Left Wing), Independents (not an actual party but they can vary political positions and are usually either Centrist or Left Wing). The 6th categories of parties is other which includes United Australia Party (Right Wing Anti Vaccination and Climate Denial Party), Pauline Hanson's One Nation (Right Wing to Far Right, Australia's largest Far Right Party), and a bunch of niche parties like Legalise Cannabis (Single Issues, assumed to be Left Wing).

Whereas with the US, its a two party state which could be a one party state if voting was mandatory because the GOP would never win with apolitical people unless their lies were hard to debunk (but thank goodness America's television channels are actually mainstream unlike Australia's TV programs, but that's another issue to talk about later).

There are more than 2 parties in the US, and Republicans are the majority in various states and towns, counties.... Even in NYC, where Democrats are a big majority (70%), we recently had 20 years of Republican mayors with Giuliani (1994 - 2001) and Bloomberg (2002 - 2013). Here as well as elsewhere, your vote is not restricted to a party.

The US is not a state, it is a federation of 50 states.

I know the US has more than two parties but less than 3% of voters vote libertarian and green parties. Just look at the midterm results of each district and you'll see what I'm talking about.

"The US is not a state, it is a federation of 50 states."

The US itself isn't a state but what I'm trying to tell you is that its political system is a two party state because there ain't much voters doing a third party option. You'd either have to be a fascist or a liberal to vote for a party perfectly aligning with you.
