6. Countries with parliamentary governments can form coalitions much more readily than the American binary...

…system. That’s why so many of them have had female prime ministers, etc, and we have not. We have not been able to get past our misogyny problem because we can’t form an overarching national coalition.

Because the US has a 2-party system written in to our Constitution, both sides have to have a “big tent” approach. Attempts to form 3rd party challenges only result in failure because a major party is splintered and no post-election coalition is possible.

Sorry about that, but that’s why so many of us old-timers are really against 3rd parties. Did you know that Ralph Nader’s Green Party was said to be an acronym for Getting Republicans Elected Every November? He was a real spoiler, and took donations from some of our enemies.
