Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
I’m not an american, but it seems like the only way americans will be represented by their government is if they out the 2 party system.
There’s this vibe of self-destruction in american society that is rooted in the 2 party system: one party is your mortal enemy and another doesn’t quite represent you - so everyone just low key feels like destroying the whole thing rather than working on making it better.
We only have a 2 party system on paper. Behind closed doors, they are working for the same goals. Make the rich people happy so they can be rich people with influence. The general population is just something that they have to manage on their way to their goals.
Adding more parties will help, but it will eventually end up the same. As long as you need money to get elected, then money will control those who get elected.
If the constitution and the political dynamics are designed for bi-partisan system it’s pretty hard to evolve out of it. A third party can also play as the king maker and have an unfair influence compared to its size. Some countries have a more dynamic coalition system but that has biases as well.
America will never be fixed because that would require all anericans to look inward and accept their shortcomings. Americans are incapable of doing that
Ah yes, it’s not a train of systemic issues compounding over 250 years combined with weaponized wealth disparity to keep everyone sick, isolated and tired. It’s because they won’t pull up their moral bootstraps.

America is a one-party state, of course. But in typical American extravagance they have two of them.
