WHY THE PEOPLE OF THE USA CHOICE ONLY BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS PARTIES?

[Kamyar_2u2]

We have seen other parties in the USA like Green one but when the most people tired from donkeys they vote to elephants and vice versa!!! The most of people in the world think where the USA only has two parties because no one understand this!

Mostly because of the social pressure exerted by the other party. Why do you think Donald Trump is so reviled? It's not because of his policies, or even his behavior- neither would warrant the vehemence he gets. It's because he was an outsider, and not part of the political machine, who managed to capitalize on the disaffected population and threaten to (and then SUCCEED AT) take the White House.

Whether they're officially in charge or not, there are some VERY entrenched groups and people running many aspects of our society, and they have SERIOUS interest in making sure the status quo is kept, so they strive to constantly convince people on "their side" that the OTHER side is full of literal Hitlers, who must be kept out of power at any cost. If the alternative is THAT bad, you HAVE to elect our guy. If the alternative is merely unpleasant, you'll be a be a lot more willing to take a risk, and vote third party.

The main reason they can do this so effectively is media control: back in 1983, ninety percent of American media was owned by fifty companies. Today, that same 90% is owned by FIVE. This, DESPITE the huge upswing in possible media sources with the rise of the internet (which DID exist in 1983, but NOTHING like how it does today). Now, you'll hear Republican types constantly griping about "the liberal media", but American media isn't actually all that liberal- it's just very, VERY Democrat-aligned, largely because so many of its owners are, or own, Democrat politicians. If EVERYONE (media-wise) is saying something, it's probably true, or so goes the reasoning, and so it often goes unquestioned. There are so few Republican-aligned media outlets that THEY can convince people that they're being silenced, and that "we're you're only source for the TRUTH!", so THAT often goes unquestioned.

It seems that way and like much in the business world, they too have a monopoly...

[Avicenna]

The parties do bc everything they can to maintain the uniparty cartel

[CloudMassacre]

Corporations have made it that way to keep people divided by social issues while they just enrich themselves

[OddBeMe]

Because otherwise it’d be parliamentary govt with 10 political parties. And the winner would take power with only 20% of the vote.
