Another reason why the two-party, winner take all system is the best voting system.
Yin and yang fighting each other in a constant battle, when one side starts winning the other side soon catches up as the only real alternative. It works great against almost all threats to democracy, except when the process itself is attacked like in CA where you choose between two democrats instead of two parties or in 2020 by cheating.
From 2016-2022 we've had basically all media and tech actively colluding against Republicans and they still won the House (although barely).
These other multi-party systems are fucked though because of divide and conquer. When one party grows larger through propaganda it doesn't make the others stronger it makes them weaker because they're not a unified force.
As long as it's a real battle and one side isn't the heel in a game of professional wrestling.
