The two-party dynamic results from the winner-take-all system. Only the two leading parties have a chance of winning. Party polarization means no compromise and no constructive governance. It also leads a minority party to employ gerrymandering and voter suppression to reduce the majority's advantage. No compromise, merely attempted domination and dictatorship. This democratic republic has painted itself into a corner.Neither candidate needed more than 22.6% of votes to get a nomination. Thank God for the two party system.
