Two-Party System

Given how two parties, the Republican and Democratic party, dominate American politics, should the US be described as a "Federal two-party dominant presidential republic"? Cnscrptr (talk) 21:14, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

No, because that's a term you invented out of thin air. Remsense ‥  21:15, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Great apologies for not being perfect in the intricate language of semantics!!! Two-Party system is the correct term, especially relating to the Republicans and Democrats' political dominance, albeit I don't know if the US should be described that way. Cnscrptr (talk) 23:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Apologies for the venom, but the issue is fundamentally deeper, in that we reflect how sources tend to characterize entities. "One-party state" is a common term, while "two-party state", "duopoly" inter alia are not. Remsense ‥  00:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Alright then, we will not move on with this motion. Glad we settled the matter. Cnscrptr (talk) 00:06, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
