    The whole 2 parties thing isn’t even in the constitution tho, is it? I’m not American so I might not be as familiar with the details

      The voting system makes it so the system will always tend toward two parties. Parties aren’t in the constitution at all. That’s where you get occasional independent candidates

      It’s not. We’ve had third parties before, and we do still occasionally have independents take seats in congress(we have 3 currently)

      They’ll never be even close to majority though, and they will never take the presidency.
