Our government might be two-party in form, but is one party in function. They both champion the same class interests, with most of the difference coming down to how much of the quiet part they'll say out loud.

Sure, in a one-party system like China, the one ruling party is always responsible for everything that happens. The fatal flaw in the system though is - how do you actually hold that one party accountable? If the Chinese Communist Party fails, the only way to actually hold them accountable is to start building bombs and killing people. There's no way to vote them out of office. The only way to hold them accountable is a total revolution.
There is no fatal flaw in the system, and I don't why you assume it's harder to hold a single party accountable than multiple parties. Furthermore, the Communist Party of China is structured fundamentally different from western parties that are completely insulated from the public. The party in China is a grassroots party https://news.cgtn.com/event/2021/who-runs-the-cpc/index.html
The fact that people in the west have been brainwashed into thinking that voting is the only viable political action is absolutely surreal.
That's not really accurate, the Communist Party of China is just the main party of China. There are 8 other parties, and rather than competing for office, they work together and advise the CPC on different matters.
Moreover, the "two-party" system requires revolution to overthrow anyways, it doesn't have that as an advantage over China's form of Democracy.
Wake me up when any party in USA is held properly accountable for all the crimes against humanity they commit.
