If the USSR had had a Red Communist party and a Blue Communist party, the communists would still be in power. Because whenever things went wrong one team could just point to the other team, and they'd switch every few years, and nothing would change.
With a Blue Military Industrial Complex party and a Red Military Industrial Complex party, the US can only switch back and forth every few years.
If we point to Biden's obvious cognitive decline, his dishonesty, his corruption, and his warmongering, his supporters just point and say "But Trump!!!" When what we really need from the Democrats is that they give us someone who isn't in cognitive decline, isn't dishonest, isn't corrupt, and isn't a warmonger. In other words, someone who would be popular for his own sake, and not only in contrast to someone only slightly more horrible.
