    I’m not underestimating the unity. I actually tallied the dissenting votes for each party for the last 16 votes in the House

      You realize there are hundreds of votes every session, right? Thousands every year. So you’re not even using 1% as your sample size. The study above used every vote across an entire year.

      Listen, you asked for a source, I provided it. You didn’t know how to open it, so I provided it again in an open format. You didn’t read it, didn’t even look at it, and you think that somehow 16 votes is more representative than thousands. I’m done here, if you want to continue discussing on our fascism thread, I’ll continue there, but this line of discussion has clearly devolved to the point where there is no point in continuing it. The data is there, if you decide to read it.

        Of course, also why I supplied the other source. But I am not certain Republicans are less united. I just haven’t seen any evidence that they’re more unitary.

          I literally provided evidence. Thousands of votes, aggregated professionally and peer reviewed. You have seen evidence, you just refused to acknowledge it.

            I said I couldn’t find anything in the source saying that. Can you please quote it?

              You did not, the only time you’ve directly referenced the provided source was to say that you could not access it. To which I responded with a publicly accessible link.

                Oh maybe I didn’t. I’ve been traveling- but I meant to. Sorry. But, can you quote where it says that?

                  Where it says what, specifically? That they used data from a full year of votes?

                  Edit: Or that Republicans are more United?

                  It doesn’t matter who is more United, if that is seriously what you’re focusing on, you’re missing the forest for the trees. I don’t give a fuck how United democrats are, that wasn’t at any point the topic of this conversation, and it’s fitting that you’ve pushed the goalposts from “Republicans aren’t United” to “Republicans aren’t more United than Democrats”. Both parties are United, they vote in line with their party in a vast, vast, vast, majority of instances. The Republican party platform is literally, definitively, chrisofascist.
