By Creating a Two Party system dude we were fine after the revolutionary war with our government why did you screw over Alexander Hamilton for a Two Party and create the divide i wished i could go back in time to keep this from Happening
shareThe two party system once served a purpose but it's proved disastrous and divisive. Not that allowing third parties to have equal footing with the Democrats or Republicans will automatically solve everything, it would at least make it harder for one side to dominate the government should it go as extreme as the Republicans did.
shareWhy you blaming him? There were other parties well into the 1800s
shareHamilton wanted us to have a national bank to keep us in debt, Jefferson didn't. WTF are you talking about? Stop getting all your "facts" from shitty Broadway musicals

This is a very cursory analysis. Has there ever been any polity in all the history of the world that did not have parties? They had parties in Ancient Athens and Sparta. In Ancient Rome. That's like saying a bunch of people can all agree on the same thing all the time when we all know that even between just two people it is never the case that there is absolute agreement. If you ask any n people their opinion on a question you'll get n plus 1 opinions, at a minimum.
Before Jefferson even got back from France there were Federalists who were for the Constitution and Anti-federalists who were against it. Before the Revolution was over there were plenty of factions within the Continental Congress.
Differences of opinion and therefore parties are an inevitability of human existence, and that's as it should be. Nobody should be forced to give up their opinion just because someone else has a different one. Do you know what that's called? Dictatorship.
