It's on you to attempt such an analysis before you demand it of others.

    I am just kind of tired of americans writing shit like this

    every single brief look at any historical voting pattern will tell you this is wrong

    and when you look inside, it's patterns from the us in the past 50 years

    But we're talking about US politics here. You came to a thread about US politics to complain that we weren't considering international perspectives.

    The point is, there is nothing that special about US politics, and to better understand US politics, you should try to understand the political systems of other countries.

    EDIT: even under this same post there is completely meaningless speculation about whether the US can overcome the two party system. While there is a real life case study about this that you could look at, New Zealand. They had the same voting system. They had the same two party structure. Both former british colonies.
