France, Japan, the UK don't exist, because you say it, it is so, winner-takes-all creates a two-party-system. OK, fine you win. I guess reality loses against your flawless arguments.

Cyran gave you the explanation why the USA's setup is a unique one. There's no easy way out for the American people.

I answered Cyran seriously, because I feel they are interested in a serious discussion.

You on the other hand put another idiotic lie on top: the idea of american exceptionalism. It is often used to paint americans as somehow superior, but you are not the first declaring americans as uniquely stupid: unable to break out of a two party misery pendulum like other countries.

The pendulum is that if people are fed up with one shitty party they elect the other, until they are fed up with them. But either way they don't escape the misery. So the misery pendulum. You declare americans are too stupid to break the cycle, you declare no escape from the misery. That is a lie and perpetuating this lie feeds into sustaining the two-party-system. As people fear the consequences of a third-party vote or resignate.

The situation is so bad that a murderer (Luigi Mangioni) is openly cheered on.

And yes, I know many hate americans enough to wish them not to escape this misery. As a non-american you have it easy to escape the misery. But I think differently. Besides the basic human decency for every human, I also think that this influences europe. Because enough dumb-dumb here want to emulate every bad policy from the americas. So a bad situation in the US over time leads to more boldness in proposing bullshit ideas for europeans.

So let's not make the situation worse. Let us not strenghtening the lie of the inevitability of the misery pendulum, of the two-party system. Americans should break free and improve their situation.
