Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

          The problem is plurality voting.

          Plurality elections only really work well with two candidates.

          That doesn’t always equate to two parties on a national scale. Regional third parties can do well, like the Scottish National Party or the Partie Quebecois. But national third parties generally underperform in plurality.

          The US has had several successive major parties. If one dies, another quickly forms to take its place.
