Disagree, haha. What is worse is when you have a one party system, or a two
party system, but the government simply disregards any party in what it
does, such that, for example, just a few people decide the fate of foreign
policy towards Israel/Palestine. A case could be made that there is no
democracy in the USA at the central government level, just a bit of
rubberstamping, and that we are dealing with a type of optical illusion on
TV. Some people actually have the impression that the US government is a
kind of multinational corporation, where the CEO forms various working
groups to execute particular tasks, and submits policies for a chat to
Congress "while we get on with the real work".
