    They could have run the actual orange fruit and I would have voted for that over the orange cry baby.

    We need more than 2 parties. fml.

      Believe me, even with more parties, politicians would manage to monopolize the attention of voters by assimilating smaller parties into “coalitions”. Take for example my country Venezuela, there are supposed to be about 30 parties, but half of them were consumed by the PSUV (the ruling party) and the other half are barely creating an opposition coalition, bringing us closer to bipartisanship.

        30 is way too many. Ideally, you want about 4-5 parties in order to maintain a healthy democracy without getting bogged down.

        Either way, the two party duopoly of the US ain’t it.
