You’re kinda implying that Old Party is essentially bad in a way that New Party won’t become. That’s not how things work at all. A party is just a collection of people. They don’t go away. The system that got them there doesn’t go away.

I feel like a broken record, but God, Americans need only look beyond their own borders for just a SECOND to see real-world examples of almost every other ‘hypothetical’ posed by all the armchair political scientists in this thread.

Kind of implying in a tongue in cheek way to point out the absurdity of focusing on political parties. Political parties are literally labour unions by another name. You wouldn't hire a worker at your day job based on their labour union affiliation, so why the hell are you concerned about the union a worker in your government business is affiliated with? Dumbest thing imaginable. Just hire people based on their capability to do the job.
