The Two-Party system is wrecking American democracy

Good article. If the two-party system is a key factor, then why all the distaste for a multi-party system? The usual answer is that if one votes outside the 2 Parties it distinctly advantages one of the other 2 Parties. So it's a catch 22 in the US, for that very system makes it near impossible to have multiple Parties.

As to polarization, the article indeed shows that the Repug Party has gone over the edge into anti-democratic practices. So for the Dems to hate that is not only reasonable but responsible if we want to retain democracy. That can hardly be called polarization as if both sides are equally wrong and right.
