It s a balancing game with changing rules - a sane democracy accepts to change (I dont think the american system is a democracy fwiw, as a French). For instance, sometimes an election with 13 parties will have open primaries in 5 of them binding the entire population to each candidate who will end up similar to each other, and the next time parties change the rule to avoid this risk and end up with a wide pentagram of mainstream extremes, and some revert back etc. As long as you have more than a binary split, anyone can join parties militant groups and local officials approve the national election candidates (so you have a soft gatekeeper), you open up to arbitrary mutations that prevent rotting fixtures. The GOP/Dem eternal fight in the heavens is distracting people from their duty to elect people to solve problems imo. Elections are a duty to manage the country, not a right to choose between two sides of the same coin.
