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

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

The two-party system isn't destroying America, your premise is backwards. Every functional democracy needs structural constraints on power, and two dominant coalitions create exactly that, forcing compromise instead of chaos. Multi-party systems fragment into deadlock or allow tiny factions to hijack government. The real problem isn't the system, it's that voters treat politics like sports rather than governance. You're blaming the architecture when the problem is the inhabitant. If Americans actually voted on policy instead of tribal identity, the two-party structure would adapt. So here's the question: are you actually arguing the system is broken, or that voters are?
