Is the two-party system destroying America?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is the two-party system destroying America?". Your opponent's style: Abraham Lincoln

No

You think the two-party system is destroying America? That's backwards. The real problem isn't that we have two parties—it's that people treat them like religions instead of tools. Look at what actually gets done: infrastructure, criminal justice reform, pandemic response. These happen because politicians from both parties negotiate and compromise. A fractured multiparty system like Italy or Israel? Constant gridlock, governments that collapse in months, no one with real power to execute anything. The two parties force coalition-building *within* themselves. That's a feature, not a bug. Yes, it's messy. Democracy is. But it works. What specific policy are you saying can't pass because of the two-party system?
