Can you explain in detail why there are only two viable political parties?
Troll bait taken...
Because that's the way it's been since 1852. It was the same way before 1852 but at least one of the parties had a different name. The system would need a structural change (like ranked choice voting) to enable a viable 3rd party to exist.
