AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

The two-party system isn't destroying America—it's the only framework that's held us together through civil war, depression, and revolution. Yes, it's imperfect. But third parties splinter us into a hundred angry factions with no ability to govern. You want proof? Look at any parliament with twelve parties—gridlock and chaos. Our system forces compromise. A Democrat and Republican must actually talk to each other, find common ground, or nothing passes. That's not a bug, it's the feature. The real problem isn't the two-party structure—it's that we've stopped trusting each other enough to work within it. So what's your case? That five parties arguing instead of two would somehow save us?
