    Two be fair many other countries have the same issue but it doesn’t have such horrendous consequences because they don’t have a two party system.

    IMHO countries that claim to be democracies should switch to Lottocracy anyway. That’s the only way we end up with decision makers that don’t just do stuff to get voted again.

      The two party system is all too common in way too many countries; a good chunk of us has probably spent most of our lives, and will probably spend the rest of them, seeing stupid people being elected because the alternative is another clown from the other team. What nobody else has is the firepower of the next 20 nations combined. To the surprise of absolutely fucking nobody, too much power can turn you into a bully. The US military complex needs to be dismantled by the rest of the imperial core or the imperial core won’t last much longer, and let’s not even get started with the UN.
