After the Presidential Election of 1984 and Congressional Elections something became clear - the Progressives are divided. Because of the vote spliting the Liberal Party lost many seats and the People's Commonwealth Party couldn't fully capitalize on the momentum. This caused the Republican Party to gain a lot, so now President Biden could pass any legislation he wants. Even the Libertarian Party took a huge hit and is now the fourth largest party in the House.

Biden already has major plans on the horizon, like the Peace with rebels in the UAR after their failed offensive that started right before the election and ended shortly after it or the Mars Mission. Although many want him to do something with growing HIV/AIDS epidemic, he largely ignored the issue. President Biden and the Republican Party is mostly liked by the Conservatives and Moderates with some Progressives. However, the majority of Progressives feel like they can't do anything.

One of the Protests Against AIDS Epidemic

With Midterms not that far away many Leaders of different Parties started having meetings with each other. It started with John Conyers meeting Angela Davis, Leaders of the Liberal Party and People's Commonwealth Party in the House. Nobody new what those meeting were about, maybe some agreement to stall some bills. After that the new Senate Minority Leader Patrick Leahy joined them. And then two Senators of the People's Commonwealth Party, Donald Trump and Peter Diamondstone joined them.

Something was going on, something major. Rumors started spreading, but there were many. Some thought that maybe it's going to be a push on major project. Others thought that maybe coalition could be formed, like Republicans did with the Libertarians and the States' Rights Party. However, then other politicians from both Parties started having meetings with each other and Party Leaders. It was something bigger than the rumors. The Republicans and Libertarians started having their own meetings as the result.

And then the Announcement came:

The Liberal Party and the People's Commonwealth Party merge into One United Party - "The People's Liberal Party"

Senate Minority Leader Patrick Leahy Announcing the Great Merger

House Leader of now former People's Commonwealth Party Angela Davis on the Announcement Event

House Minority Leader John Conyers shortly after the merger explaining how the New Party will work

Senator Donald Trump Talking about the Need for Unity Among Progressives

This came as a shock to many Americans. Even some in both Parties who weren't fully in on it. This even caused some Conservative/Moderate politicians from the Liberal Party to become Republicans or more often Independent, but most of them chose to be in the New Party. Some in the People's Commonwealth Party weren't happy, but they thought that the Liberal Party had many Socialists in their ranks, so this was probably a necessary step.

But what are now Official Policies of the People's Liberal Party? Well, it agreed on a Protectionist platform, fully supporting the idea that the rights of the working class should be fully protected. Even exceptance of Socialism as an ideology is promised. The Party also support Dovish Foreign Policy and the idea that the US shouldn't be envolved in unnecessary conflicts. However, it also vowed to support Human Rights everywhere and help those in need. The Hawks from the now former Liberal Party didn't take it well, but most promised to support the Party plans. The People's Liberal Party is be largely Socially Progressive Party, except some issues where many in the Party have different views. However, it promises to support LGBTQ rights when possible. Party members should stand by those policies.

The Republican Party and the Libertarian Party saw this as a dangerous new entity that could damage the country very much, if heading the government. The Party members of both met extensively to discuss what to do. After much negotiations they made their own Announcement:

The Libertarian Party will Join the Republican Party in the Second Great Merger

The Speaker of the House George H. W. Bush at the Press Conference of the Announcement

Leader of Libertarians in the Senate Barry Goldwater Sr. asking every Libertarian Supporter to Back this Unity

Now both Parties are one, but not like the People's Liberal Party as the brand new Party. The Libertarian Party lost much of influence, more and more politician from the Party were becoming Republicans already and the Republican Party has strong majorities in both House and Senate. So this led that the Libertarian Party politicians becoming the Republicans and now there is just the Republican Party, the Party that started in one of the most difficult times in American history will stay.

However, Libertarians didn't end up empty-handed. The Republican Party is now promises to be the Party of small government and Free Market Economic Policy, something that was the main policy of the Libertarian Party for years. Even with the Libertarian Party entering another Party, it has changed the political landscape and can continue to change it as a part of the Republican Party. Their Policies even before this merger were becoming more and more similar, so many saw this as a natural progress.

So now we have the United States of America once again fully a Two-Party System in all major aspects. However, two Major Parties now have more Factions than ever, some really different from each other. This may be the start of the New Era in American Politics - the Era of Factions.
