As a German I don’t understand why the USA basically do have two political parties. I know there are technically other parties but they have no impact.
Because first past the post electoral systems always result in a 2 party system due to defensive voting.
Because Americans didn’t listen to George Washington, when during his farewell address he strongly cautioned against “alternate domination” of a 2 party system.
Because Americans are woefully uneducated, dis-interested, and preoccupied.
