PRO
- Easier to grasp for populace that becomes quickly overwhelmed when presented with too many chip options at the supermarket
- Cultivates a fundamentally American ‘us versus them’ mindset
- Saves precious time that would have been wasted confronting multiple nuanced positions along a spectrum of political ideology
- You’ll probably get your way every four to eight years
CON
- Unfairly limits the options available to lobbyists
- Perpetuates false notion that the U.S. government isn’t controlled by a single top-secret, monolithic political organization composed of the world’s most powerful elites
- Stifles the creativity of political cartoonists who have so much more than elephants and donkeys to give
- Voter turnout generally higher in single-party dictatorships
