Sure, but not because of the two-party system. In spite of it, maybe.

Maybe that’s not good, but for the most part we just keep trucking along despite the horrid group of people in DC.  In the end that actually don’t seem to accomplish much and I’m fine with that.

Well, that sounds nice. The friendly American going about his day and leaving politics to the radicals and idiots. But actually, this is a very sad state of affairs, where the best strategy for the reasonable person seems to be just staying away from any relevant political topic and thinking about gingerbread instead. I read that as idolizing the uninformed voter as a role model for getting along just fine. If that's the state a society is in, than democracy is not in a good state.
