@JJ_McCullough yep, i wouldn’t even call american political parties “parties” in the way that European political parties are. they are more like coalitions of interests groups that share a ballot line and coordinate over fundraising and candidate selection. — PolitiTweet.org

@Trilobitten @Benny_Switch i’d say that in the united states, it is the combination of FPTP, single-member districts, and the electoral college, which ensures that a third-party presidential candidacy is a spoiler. and at this point there’s the cultural factor, i.e., we have been 2-party for so long! — PolitiTweet.org
