Reply to comment by Fetlocks_Glistening in TIL North Korea has multiple political parties. As of the latest election in 2019, three parties (WPK, Korean Social Democratic Party, and Chondoist Chongu Party) and one organization (Chongryon) are represented in the Supreme People's Assembly, the country's unicameral parliament. by blihk

The same ploys seem to work in Russia and the USA to some extent.

You really think the political situations between the DPRK and the US are remotely comparable?

In Russia yes, to a lesser extend. Putin allows the opposition.

The USA is different. Two right wing parties (yes, from a worlds' perspective the Democrats are right wing too. Even if they are not so far right as the Republicans). The system makes it "nearly" impossible for a third party to exist and to be effective.
