Any more would be too complicated for them, unironically.
You have two sides and both have to always have the exact opposite opinion on everything. If the blue team likes A, the red team has to hate A and so forth.

If you had a third team that didn't feel strong about A or B and preferred C, it would cause a mental meltdown because Americans and their society is only of polarization and always going 100% into one or the other direction with zero room or wish for moderation.

They do have other parties, it just happen that Americans threat politics as a football match.

>zero room or wish for moderation.
Based
Fencesitters should be impaled on pallisades

they are both large organizations with relatively efficient operations (the point is to get elected not to fix things) and about 150 years of history working to win elections and changing local election rules

This is the mathematically most likely consequence of a FPTP, winner-takes-all voting system. When New Zealand switched from FPTP to MMP they transitioned to a more multi-party system

Useless to have more, american democracy is a joke, they literally distribuite the seats based on a state size

two dimensional political scale is by far the most retarded way to categorize political views.
Holly shit, you just draw a line and ut stuff you like in the corner you identify yourself in, and put stuff you dislike in the other side.
It was created to teach politics to women...

>vote for third party
>no party gets majority in the electoral college
>president is elected by congress
It's literally throwing your vote away.

Understanding there are more than two options isn't fencesitting. It also leads to retarded shit where if you want affordable Healthcare, you must also support trannies and open borders. Meanwhile if you want to own a gun, you must also believe COVID-19 is a hoax.

Winner take all electoral college.

Do you LOVE [some dumb shit] like me?
No? Then you are a fool and a retard and deserve to die and clearly a moron like you could only ever vote for ENEMY PARTY.

good guys lost

Both american parties are right wing though
Liberalism is right wing

Bolsonaro comes from a really tiny party.

Electoral college + First Past the Post. 2 parties is a natural result of specific American voting system.

>"right wing"
More like, liberals vs non-conservatives

this is retarded. This whole "You either go left or right" mindset is stupid because some people can agree with some parts of the left spectrum while agreeing on the right part of the spectrum. What will that person do in that case? Be forced to choose one side and betray half of his principes because he doesn't have the choices cause the american society was made in a bipolar way?

Brazil doesn't have an electoral college.

Yeah ita designed that way. Electoral college is mostly winner take all so no 3rd party can pop up. The EC will be thrown out in 10 years or less. Irs failed too many times since 1992. Perot, bush w, trump all failures. 3 since 1992.

Lenin wrote about it

>What will that person do in that case

Start adopting a coherent ideology and not pick and choose shit based on some personal preference. Ideologies aren't a fucking supermarket.

>The EC will be thrown out in 10 years or less.

The EC hasn't been more secure than at this very moment. Laughable suggestion.
