    Stop with excuses. The same two parties are winning because people decided to vote for them. While in many other countries newly formed parties was able to win in the first attempt.

      Other countries have representational voting. America doesn’t have a system that will allow any other parties, especially on first attempt. If America has ranked-choice voting, it too would have parties out the wazoo

      The US political system is not other countries. How come people on this site are all about understanding systems except when that system stands in their way?

It’s honestly getting to be infuriating how little yall know and how far you think that knowledge seems to extend.
