As a European I always wonder why Americans don't create an alternative party to the Democrats, after all it is the party that in 2016 cheated in the primaries so that Hillary would win and still lost to an idiot. If you create a real left-wing party you can seriously propose things like socialized healthcare just as the right is not shy about proposing crazy things like banning abortion.
The only difference is that they have been successful in colonizing the Republican Party and the Democratic Party is simply an outdated instrument that no longer represents its own bases.
The average American is too stupid to handle more than 2 options. American's like everything easy and straightforward. Black and white. Good and evil. They have a very simplistic world view.
Oh fuck off, the reason is we have FPTP elections and there's too much hanging on an election to justify fracturing the country for four years while we establish a viable 3rd party.
