>There are 238 political parties that qualified at the state level in the United States as of January 2025, allowing their candidates to appear on election ballots.
there were dozens of other candidates the last 2 presidential elections, and even most people here have no idea them or there parties even existed, because all but the major (jew controlled) 2 are shut entirely out of media and debates

>>543354287
They also have this shit called electoral collage which can elect a president even if they lost the popular vote, because apparently, Wyoming matters as much as California. That's how Bush was elected in 2000, and that's why they deserved 911

>>543354468
the electoral college has been there all along and when it was instituted, this country was like13-15 states, lol
nowhere near 50
all that logic for the electoral came faaaaar later

>>543354287
We need ranked choice. Americans are too uneducated to understand it right now but it's coming around.

>>543354354
Theoretically there are more parties yeah but its been 180 years since a third party won.
The system makes it absolutely impossible for others to win no matter how retarded the two parties become one of the will win no matter what.

>why
back when USA started 2 parties were enough
but now USA politics is a total shithole
also USA is 250 years old
oops

>>543354558
we need to ban political parties period, because this team sports shit is only being used to subvert us all now into not caring about anything except pissing off some "other side"
nobody gives a shit that both sides are cuc k ed and full of cancerous faggot legislation as long as they can subjectively go "w=well at least it's not [x]" of "THEY get to act like faggots so it's not fair if WE can't be faggots too"

>>543354601
exactly
it's not going to change though and the masses here are way too dumb and easily subverted from any kind of unity in any numbers that could realistically do anything
even worse now because they stuck trannies in there to split the left side amongst itself and miggers in the right side for the same purpose, and hilariously both are as delusional and insufferable as the other

>Why do Americans only have 2 political parties?
Because we are simpletons
>Are they even a democratic country?
No, nigger, stfu, neither are you. Just be happy with your faggot multi-party fraud system that sucks just as bad as our 2-party puppetshow.
Focus on your own HIV.

It's an almost inevitable consequence of first-past-the-post (aka winner-take-all) voting. That's one reason republicans absolutely hate any kind of ranked choice voting and so do most democrats (politicians, that is; dem voters quite like it. Most republican voters don't have opinions, they just think whatever they're told to)

Banning elections would be even better. sortition (random selection similar to jury duty) is the best system for a complex polity

>>543354287
They have at least two parties to choose from.

wyoming has 3 electoral votes while california has 54

>>543354852
the problem with this is first guy that does not want to be there and starts taking it out on the country could royally fuck everything, it's an office with way too much power for that

I mean the president allegedly has all the nuclear codes, can't just randomly pic some guy in a trailer park in rural alabama

>>543354862
Thats one more than North Korea. Thats double! And they call it the Democratic Republic of North Korea. So Americans are twice as democratic i guess.

>>543354887
So you're agreeing that a Wyoming vote is more than three times the weight as a California vote

>>543355005
Yeah that's kinda the core problem.
Not incompetence (it legit can't get worse) but someone getting angry at being volunteered for it.

>>543355068
North Korea has 4 parties

>>543355357
Maybe, but only one of them rules. Just like in Japan.
