re: #276 Big Beautiful Door

Multiparty is desireable because our political system has polarized into two enemy camps creating gridlock in Congress. If the two parties are broken up, Congress will no longer be divided into “us” and “them” and hopefully the arts of compromise and deal making will return. The Constitution doesn’t require first-past-the-post district elections, but introducing proportional representation would be hard because the two parties will be implacably opposed, and its foreign to us. But its not unconstitutional.

As evenly divided as this country is, every government would be a coalition government, guaranteeing permanent gridlock. No party would ever have enough of a predominance to push anything through.
