2 party system is almost the same as 1 party dictatorship. You do need unlimited amount of parties to have any kind of democracy
We definitely don't have a two party system. Trump came in and invented a whole new party just like that. We have republicans, democrats and trumpers.
Pro-Trump Republicans and anti-Trump Republicans are not at all separate parties, and 99% of anti-Trump Republicans still support him in practice when the alternative is working with Democrats.
Saying they're separate is like saying AOC and Nancy Pelosi are in different parties.
