THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM MYTH
Presidential Elections: The Multi-Partisan Truth
by Jackie Bradbury, Secretary Missouri Libertarian Party
People in the United States have been clinging to a myth for a very long time now – that the United States is a two party system. Heck, they use the term “bipartisan” as if it means that all views are represented, when in fact it is only two opinions out of many.
We Libertarians know this is incorrect (and we have been using the term ourselves lately in Columbia, meaning Libertarians and Greens), but it’s nice tohave it verified by outside sources.
The source I used is my old college days history textbook: _Essentials_Of_American_History_.
It lists all of the Presidential elections from 1789 (I added 1988 and 1992): it lists most of the candidates who got anything near a significant vote total or an electoral vote.See the chart below (Sysop note: adjoining file).
As you can see, in fact a _three-way_ race is more common than any other. Three-way races make up 44% of all of our Presidential Elections, as a matter of fact (23 out of 52 total), and two-candidate races only make up 37% of all Presidential elections in history… We have even had a few four and five-way races as well (19% of all elections).
And as an interesting note, look at how rare a two-way race is in the 20th Century as compared to the previous one. Perhaps we could speculate WHY the cycle swings from multi-candidate elections to two-candidate elections.
It may have something to do with social upheaval – you can point to many of the multi-party swings and they tend to correspond with social movements such as women’s suffrage, the civil rights movement, etc. They also somewhat correspond to economic stability as well, such as the current economic crisis (our national debt) corresponds with the current multi-candidate swing in the cycle. I’m sure a more competent political scientist than I can figure out what happens and why: the important thing is that, whatever the reasons, you can see that indeed multi-candidate and multi-partisan politics are no strangers to democracy in the United States.

Even better! My bill actually went down from $220 to $65!
And my 1st thought was "now I can even save more to pay my healthcare!" #murica
The King of #Murica and their cult members whine and bully other countries about their #FreeSpeech being curtailed...blah, blah...
Then demand citizens from other countries surrender their #privacy and personal data. #surveillance 🙄
Good luck getting allies and tourists again.

@Scorpiosoul9 that’ll make #murica such a safe place - it’s unbelievable.
Before:
Ships had to avoid coast of Somalia because Somalian pirates
Now:
Ships need to avoid coast of South America because American pirates

Hey 🇨🇦 🫎 and 🇪🇺 ! How are you today?
I was wondering if you read this👇🏻 about America (no, no...the CONTINENT) and had any ideas or thoughts on the matter??
You know...as opportunities for investments, diplomacy and soft policy.
Also... #LatinAmerica...are you cool with beint #Murica´s backyard again?? Just saying...🤔 🤷🏻♂️ #AméricaLatina
Last week I went to an Italian restaurant with my Polish spouse in Germantown, Wisconsin and my waiter was an Australian who grew up in South Africa. My kid asked them about Bluey. #Murica
Oh, also, Retail Peak is going well and smoothly. Go buy more stuff.
Americans today: "Oh, no, he committed war crimes?!?"
Me: "wait, isn't it business as usual for the US?"
The chief of shit calls a reporter a pig and #murica keeps putting “parental advisories” on media.
