Um, no, everyone does not know any such thing. While my preference is for Democrats over Republicans, Democrats with no opposition party to keep them honest would slide into the depths of corruption. They are already very nearly as corrupt as the Republicans and can be thought of as 'Republican Light." Both parties are subservient to big money. Democrats pretend to care about the powerless, Republicans support big money capitalism. It's a gray line because Democrats can't get elected without the big money from oligarchs. And the last thing Democrats can do, and they know this, is to anger the big money oligarchs.
If Democrats really focused on what the country needs, Biden would have said: "Oh? You wish to negotiate this debt ceiling? OK, no problem. Here is our position: Tax the rich more to reduce the deficit. You wish to cut spending. Heard that. OK, so our compromise is do neither and eliminate the debt ceiling because it is in violation of the 14th anyway. Address spending in the normal way. I have created a budget. You need to do the same; and then we can compare those as a separate issue based on the merits of our arguments without the threat of default, because paying for our existing debts and creating new ones are not the same issue."
Our Republican friends and relatives, our fellow Americans, do not wish to make America worse. They see it as improving America to make abortion illegal or severely restricted, and trying to eradicate Gay and Trans lifestyles, which they feel are simply 'decadent choices.' They do not believe the police are doing anything wrong to blacks, that the individuals either deserved what they got or occasional bad apple mistakes are made; but cops are overall good. They think CRT means if you're white you are racist and they rail at the thought of being called racist when they do not believe they are.
Eliminating the two party system would eliminate inherent checks and balances.
What America needs is more respectful dialog. More brotherly love. We need to drop all the pretentious name-calling and really listen to one another. We need to spread a new age of enlightenment in which a new emphasis is placed on discerning fact from fiction. We need to learn to disregard propaganda and honestly focus on policy rather than culture wars. We need to make corruption illegal. We need to set up our education system to tell the real American history and train students to properly discern between fact and fiction; have the ability to spot propaganda.
Far too many Americans allow themselves to be influenced by rumors and peer pressure. We need to drop the hatred, the name-calling, the assuming someone who disagrees is 'stupid,' and enter a new era of fact-based dialog. And we need to address the problem of big money in our government. Big money that pays for public opinion-shaping to divide us bitterly in order to keep corruption legal and thus keep influence over public discourse and government policy.
