The two party system is the illusion that we have any agency in the political process. The wolf may be here, but it's not doing our ordained "civic duty" and voting team red or blue at the ballot box that's gonna stop him. All these points about senate majorities, SCOTUS, electors and whatnot are moot if both parties pursue the same hawkish foreign policy, massive public debt, unrestrained money printing, and a constant assault on the constitution and our personal liberties.
