The Onion

Lots of people have been brainwashed to not want democracy. They want a 2 team system because it gives them the good feelings of 'im better than the other guys" regardless of how factually true that is. And when there is an other guy that they explicitly aren't better than, like a third party candidate, its all kinds of rationalization as to why actually its better to choose the shittier option because otherwise you might get the feally shitty option. As opposed to just not choosing a shitty option.
