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

You say the two-party system is destroying America? I say you're mistaken. This system has held the Union together for nearly two centuries, through Civil War, Depression, and countless trials. Yes, it's imperfect—all human institutions are. But the alternative is chaos. Splinter into ten parties and you get gridlock on steroids, backroom coalition deals, and governments that answer to fringe movements. The two parties force compromise, however bitter. They've survived because they adapt. Your real complaint isn't the system itself—it's that you disagree with where it's heading. That's democracy working, not dying. What's your response?
