    become a defacto single party system

    Sure, over a short enough time frame, that’s true. However, the power vaccum would quickly be filled by another party, and thus most people wouldn’t consider the US to have a single-party system. It’s the same way how you don’t breathe in the time between every exhale and inhale, but people don’t consider you to have “stopped breathing” because that’s not a very useful conceptualization.

        No, it’s just that I didn’t notice the part where you admitted you were wrong, so I felt the need to explain why you weren’t correct.
