This is coming from someone who wanted Gary Johnson to win in 2016 but knew he had no shot against a letter D and a letter R.

I know. You're amongst the persons probably most open to the argument that a two-party system is a horrible way to run a democracy. And I agree, of course, the two-party system is the root of the current evil, the underlying cause for the rise of Trump, and possibly your democracy's undoing. I do not think it's so much about one party having a systematic advantage, though it is true. But even if it weren't, the picture would still be the same, one of the parties always replacing the other one after a certain period, creating a 50/50 timeshare over time.

Until someone gets rid of it finally. Whch imho is bound to happen, especially since so many americans ae fundamentally frustrated with the system and many people's logic seems to be that it isn't really a coup attempt if it doesn't succeed. One more reason to go after Trump with all means available. If there's hesitation, it's water on the mills of those that claim Trump's little sweet coup attempts weren't a big deal to begin with.
