Since we have the two party system, everyone chooses either red or blue. If we had a multiparty system you'd see at least six to eight different strong political parties, and dozens of small fringe ones.
I read an interesting story about Spain this week. They also have two-party system comparable to the US. A very religious and Franco loving right populist party and an also religious left wing party.
Apparantly what happens a lot is that both parties break down everything the other has build up during periods in which they were governing.
Examples were a 300k europ bikelane made by the left was subsequently destroyed for 30k euro by the right and and a good functioning government webside made by the right which was completely changed (for the worse) by the left.
It must be so frustrating living in such a country where money is thrown away like that.
Just to say that it is not only the US that has such a system.
