Here’s the fundamental issue - a problem is worth more to politicians and parties unaddressed because you can get your people angry about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Marriage has declined for all classes in the past 40 years, with the decline being most extreme among the non-college educated. The decline accelerated in 2000, around the same time as manufacturing jobs started to disappear. https://t.co/c3VWn4TAmQ — PolitiTweet.org

Zach’s book about the campaign comes out on Tuesday - anyone who enjoyed the campaign will love this behind-the-scenes look! As a story it’s a lot better than my book. Get your copy today! #yanggang 😀 — PolitiTweet.org

If you really wanted it to be fair you’d have third party - perhaps @Fwd_Party - Secretaries of State and redistricting commissions. As it is it’s like having the referees wearing a team jersey. — PolitiTweet.org

The simple truth is that both parties do whatever they can to squelch competition - hence the record-high 90% uncompetitive Congressional districts. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats talk about defending democracy - but they gerrymander as furiously as anyone. See the NY redistricting fiasco when their proposed map was declared unconstitutional by dem-appointed judges. — PolitiTweet.org

You know why both parties stifle any real competition with closed primaries? Because they know people don’t like them or their candidates that much. It’s illegal in most states to call your party the “Independent Party” because - wait for it - it’s too popular. — PolitiTweet.org

The parties play “You lose, I lose” back-and-forth - and we all lose. — PolitiTweet.org

In a two-party system, no one truly has to deliver anything - they simply can wait to get power back after the other party turns everyone off. — PolitiTweet.org

Can this change? It can if enough people come together and say “this system is broken, let’s evolve and modernize our democracy and give people more choices.” That’s what the @Fwd_Party is doing - providing a new third way. Would be excited if you join us. ⬆️🇺🇸 — PolitiTweet.org

The United States is highly unusual in having a dysfunctional two-party system. The UK has five parties. Germany seven. Sweden eight. Our current system is very susceptible to authoritarianism - if one party goes dark you could lose it all. — PolitiTweet.org

Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang

Today polarization is worse than ever. 42% of both parties regard the other as corrupt and a threat to the country. It will only get worse not better as 90% of Congressional districts are now very blue or red thanks to gerrymandering and non competitive general elections. — PolitiTweet.org

National news became polarized with cable news arriving in the 90s. Fox and MSNBC were founded in 1996. The party identities started to harden along urban and rural lines. Of course social media made things dramatically worse starting in the 2000s. — PolitiTweet.org

The current two-party system congealed around 1864. Through the 1960s the two parties were ideologically similar. They diverged with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The South flipped from Democrat to Republican. The parties shifted toward their current directions. — PolitiTweet.org

Note that our founding fathers would be aghast at what we have done - Washington warned us against partisanship. John Adams called them an evil across the land. Madison railed against factions that don’t shift. Yet here we are. — PolitiTweet.org

The two-party system is singularly poor design - and it may doom us all. — PolitiTweet.org
