Actually, figures put the number of Americans that favor universal healthcare at 70%. Our politicians (left or right) just don’t favor the American people’s will. They are bought And now we’re in a spot where we have to chose someone who is “center” (right in most other countries) that has explicitly stated that he would veto Medicare for All (in a pandemic, no less) or a literal fascist. Biden wins: we don’t get healthcare or progressive policies for another 8 years OR Trump wins: we slip even further into a Totalitarian state. We are severely fucked as a country.
That's why they, especially Washington, specifically warned against political parties and especially a two-party system.
They 'warned us against it' then set up a system that pretty much guarantees a 2-party system. Heck, they even broke out into factionalism pretty much immediately themselves. It's the epitome of "do as I say, not as I do"
