    I’d argue even with education, your defacto two party system still prevents true change/progress. Not sure if better education would be enough to change this.

      The two party system worked for a long time because both sides were committed to the idea that a functional government was a good thing.

      A multiple party system didn’t save Germany from Fascists. When enough citizens decide their fellow citizens are the problem decent government becomes impossible.

        I wouldn’t say it worked. It was barely good enough while being quiet bad. Switzerland took usa’s system and made it better, so much better. Anno 1848

      well, at least people will be able to conceptualize this is a completely stupid system.

      Right now they have the sport-fan mentality. Us vs Them, Me vs You, Good vs Bad. Baby view of the world.

      (and it’s not my de-facto :) )

      a UNIPARTY, the gop and dinos are a coalition. not even a true 2 party system. DInos are allowed to throw people a bone once in a while so they dont form an uprising or take over the party

        Moron. Go educate yourself. You’re responsible for all the unnecessary evil and thousands of murders trump has brought upon this world.
