We don't need an #AmericaParty, Elon.
Political parties in the #uspol are how the will of the people gets captured. With fewer voters in a primary, big money & special interests & cult figures can dominate and win. Then in the general, the public is forced to choose who they hate the least, recognizing that the better candidate probably won't do what they promise anyway, but it can always get worse. Third parties can't survive the obvious logic of FPTP game theory.

@wjmaggos You're halfway right.
You say fewer voters in a primary, but your next idea suggests that more people would be voting in primaries because it would be in their interests to have candidates that they prefer.
No, the better argument doesn't go that direction, it simply says that the two-party system is a natural result of FPTP, and we would be better going on to something ranked choice instead of emulating that with the two-party system.
Same conclusion, but the argument that goes the better, more constructive direction.
