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
