- Comment on How much more progressive are European views as compared to progressives in America? 1 day ago:
Let me guess, Republican right? It sounds like you have an ideological reason for keeping things the way they are in the US. What people mean when they say the US has a 2party system friend, is that it is a 2party system in practise, even though not formally. The reason that it becomes 2party in practise, is because of the American first past the post election system and also because its regional representation system. Both keep smaller parties from gaining power and making a threat to the bigger parties. In countries without those 2 systems, like many European countries, democracies commonly have many more political parties in practise, and power switches between them, and there are often coalitions to create a majority. This is both better for minority groups as well as for preventing power becoming entrenched, both of which are good for democracy and freedom. Also your argument that many multi party systems eventually move to 2 parties having lower is really not true, just have a look at all European countries that don’t have regional representation and first past the post election systems.

Wdym that they become 2party systems? I disagree this is a result of regional representation and first past the post election systems. Countries that don’t have that, but have more sensible election systems, don’t have 2 parties at all. Many of those countries are much older than the US, by the way :p

America needs to move to a multi party system (only possible with direct representation and without regional representation). This would open up so many possibilities for Americans
