Because it's just evolved into a two party system. It's pretty much impossible for a third party to win anything.
Parker Parker
Right but about 23% of people are a member of one or the other party and only 50% of people who are voting age even vote. European parties don't get anywhere near that level of membership.
Christian Sullivan
I guess Americans care more about politics than Euros do. Probably has something to do with being ruled by kings and queens for so long.
Ian Taylor

But turnout is so much lower in America,
Lucas Evans
Maybe there are just too many parties in your system then. Just like when the faggots here try the Jow Forums parliament.
Jackson Allen
you would if you had a one decent party. all your choices are versions of Marxism.
Communism - Marxist
Socialism - Marxist
Fascist - Marxist
Liberal - Marxist
Greens - Marxist
Feminist - Marxist
Why don't you give Libertarian a try?
Leo Edwards
We also have Conservatism btw
Libertarianism hasn't really caught steam
Xavier Harris
If you are referring to Tory, you must be joking. They are as cucked as US neo-cons and RINOs. How many in LPUK? How many in UKIP?
Dominic Price
21,200 in UKIP. Dunno how many in the Libertarians they only got like 500 votes
Cameron Wood
Duverger's law
Julian White
Fascism isn't Marxist you dumb cunt. It is collectivism, but collectivism and Marxism are not interchangable terms.
Adrian Stewart
Consolidate the two, Staying divided into all those small parties fighting is what (((they))) want. I also believe that low voter turnout in US is because neither party has had their interests in mind. Career politicians = liar and scum.
Gavin Scott
Fascism is Italian Marxism.
Noah Anderson
UKIP and Libertarians are very different though. UKIP want large funding increases for veterans for example.
Brayden Nguyen
my bad, I don't know the ins & outs. But y'all seem fucked from the outside. nothing personal and not saying we don't have a huge hole to dig out of either.
Tyler Mitchell
Because they have us trapped in Hegelian Dialect.
Tyler Butler
If you want to vote in a primary election you need to register with a party. So lots of people register.
Carter Foster
to win the presidency you need to have +51% of the votes. so If they have +3 large parties its going to turn into a complete mess.
Hudson Bennett
Perot should have won ;_;
Jack Barnes
Marxism is socialism built on jacobin egalitarian revolutionary ideology. It denies race, nation, family, and hierarchy. Fascism is socialism built on reactionary ethnic-nationalism. It’s foundation is race, nation, family, and hierarchy. The two ideologies are polar opposites. Marxism has more in common with liberal capitalism than it does with fascism
Nathan Carter
He lost support because he dropped out and then came back in too late. Some say he was threatened by Bush/CIA
Landon Thomas
>55% turnout
That's awful.
Nathaniel Walker
Stockdale was practically retardation levels of intelligence. sank his campaign overnight putting him on the ticket.
Tyler Bennett
Remember how hyped up 2016 was?
Lincoln Adams
tfw not smart enough to vote Dole
Elijah Diaz
Winner take all electoral college is a system designed to punish small parties
Carter Roberts
The system. Under the parliamentary system, you guys form coalitions after the election. We do it before, in the primaries. Our parties are also very weak and decentralized compared to yours. Not complicated.
