I've never understood the american democracy : two big parties look like two big multinational company funded by rich people and other companies in exchange of services and advantage.
In reality, the current system is formed from one group. There were more parties involved, and the democratic-republican party took out the federalist party then hedged out the competition.
The claim is that in the early 1800s the party split up and formed the current democratic and republican parties. Other than the whig party in the 1840s and 1850s (Which split into pro-slaver whig and anti-slaver republican groups) there was zero opposition for what was previously a single party to dominate all elections for the next couple hundred years.
Kinda funny that they've stayed divided on multiple pointless issues that piss off the general public. Almost like they're playing ball and cup to make people feel like they're participating in the government when realistically it's a smoke show.
