    This is a perspective than can only be held in a political system that has devolved to a two-party system.

    If you step out of that, it stops making sense. A democracy allows for people to express their actual opinion. Anything less than that is not a proper democracy. I’d argue there are no “third parties” in a proper democracy.

    You might be saying that the American regime is illegitimate, it’s unclear.

      Regime manufacturers legitimacy via captured political process and peasants accept this arrangement despite not being represented within the government broadly speaking is my thesis.
