"I think there is only one party in the United States, the Democrats? Republican? Neither, it's the Constitution Party. Li Jie looked at the two of them, and when he saw their thoughtful expressions, he obviously understood what he meant. Is there any essential difference between the so-called Democratic Party and the Republican Party? What is the difference between liberalism and conservatism? No kidding! Essentially, they don't make a difference! ”

The core of power in the United States is the Constitution, and its power pillars include three aspects: justice, legislation, and law enforcement. The judicial system mainly includes courts, prisons, and the military; Legislation is in the hands of the House of Representatives, which mainly includes the formulation of administrative laws, the approval of administrative establishment and funding, and the inspection of administrative personnel; Law enforcement mainly includes the President, the State Department, and the General Staff Headquarters of the Army.

This is what Li Jie wants to say, there is only one real political party in the United States, and that is the Constitution Party of the United States. The Democrats and Republicans are just two factions in one party. Neither party has a fixed number of members, and whichever party votes in the general election is a member of the party. This time he voted for the Republican Party, and next time he could vote for the Democratic Party, the party membership is insignificant, and the change of identity between the members of the two parties often happens -- of course, he is talking about the Constitution Party in the broad sense, and it is not the same concept as the small party with the same name, the "Constitutional Party" (formerly the Taxpayers' Party, a small party with an extremely conservative position).

"Let's say there's a small town and one day suddenly two new shops open on both sides of the busy road in the center of the town, and the doors are open to the door, and both stores sell similar goods." Li Jie did not continue to explain in depth, but began to tell the story, which seemed to be unrelated. This time, though, the two Flowers, who had been caught in the spot, had become accustomed to his jumpy conversations. Listened very carefully.

"What happens then? The two stores opened opposite the door, and naturally the competition was very fierce. The two shopkeepers often accuse each other of being despicable and bad, selling fakes, shoddy, cutting corners, scolding each other when they have nothing to do, and even fighting. Same thing. A sells at this price, and B is one cent less than him. B sells white buckets, A sells red buckets, A sells suits and formal wear, and B sells jeans and casual wear. Anyway, they have to do it, and they make the streets boiling every day. The residents of the town come to see the excitement when they have nothing to do, and they have to go every day to see what new tricks are there. Today they rush to the store for a penny cheaper, tomorrow they rush to buy red buckets, and the day after tomorrow they rush to buy jeans. Everybody thinks it's great, since we had these two stores. The two shopkeepers had to find a way to win their favor every day, and they not only watched the excitement, but also bought cheaper and better things, which invisibly produced a sense of superiority that was valued. As a result, more and more people patronized these two stores, and fewer and fewer people went to other shops on the street, and they closed down one after another. In the end, people were surprised to find that the two stores had monopolized the business of the entire town. Li Jie puffed out a puff of cigarette. Spread his hands at the two of them. "The two shopkeepers compete fiercely every day, and who loses in the end?"

"Americans like to do multiple-choice questions, and they see it as a sign of democracy. You want to drink Coke. Some choose, Coca-Cola or Pepsi? Do you want to eat fast food, some options, McDonald's or KFC? Want to buy a computer, no problem, IBM or Apple? Li Jie didn't give the two of them time to think. A few examples were given in a slightly mocking tone, and a slap in the face at the end. Look at them. "People get the democracy they want, and businesses get benefits. Isn't that a joy for all? ”

And the fact is that often they think that the two parties of their democratic choice are wearing the same pants, and they are nothing more than a change of name.

It's like a standing game, with ten people standing on each side facing each other, and whoever has the most people wins. The opponent can pull the people from your team away, and of course you can also pull the people from their side away, even if you can't pull them into your own team, removing them from the other team is an improvement. Even the incumbent president can protect himself, so why wouldn't any of the Republican gentlemen have a small calculation? There is too much room for moderates, radicals, and conservatives in a mixed group.

"Nothing in the world is set in stone, and it all comes at a cost."

After Li Jie gave this conclusion, he stopped talking, but smoked his cigar to give them some time to digest.

The U.S. general election is not a popular suffrage in the true sense of the word, but the states first elect representative representatives, and finally the members of the parliament vote to elect the president, such a voting mechanism, such a voting mechanism is naturally Democratic congressmen vote for the Democratic presidential candidate, and Republican congressmen vote for the Republican candidate. In other words, the election of the president is the election of the members of the parliament, and whichever side elects more congressmen will win the presidential crown, and their interests are often tied together by party ties. That's what led to Tim's blind spot - how could someone from the same party vote for a hostile party.

But Li Jie never thinks that there is such a thing as absolute in the world, as long as he finds enough handle or motivation, there are naturally people who are willing to fight back. At the same time, the dark arrow from within is also the most difficult to guard against, and the key is how it works.

"I'll see what kind of opportunities I can find on Capitol Hill." Tim Rabi has fully reacted, just now he didn't clear his mind for a while, after Li Jie cleared the fog, for an old bone like him, he can naturally find a place to start.

"That's your problem, I just need to know the result." Li Jie put down the information in his hand and revealed a few lines of words highlighted on it, which were the names of large banks such as Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America, and below Citibank, he redrew two horizontal lines.

Sheila forwarded this information to him for two reasons. First, she has greater expectations for Li Jie than before, hoping to get some help from him; Second, her current situation is not good, at least worse than expected, to the point where she will not let go of any help.

"How are we doing with Jeff's donation?" It seems that Jeff Booth has put a lot of pressure on Sheila, and this little Booth is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"It's progressing well, but it's in the name of the company." Flower replied.

"Don't be fooled by so-called partisan loyalty. Only interests are eternal. Li Jie nodded, flicked off the ash of his cigar, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the traffic and glitz of the buildings below, and reminded the two subordinates again.
