But you don't need a two-party system to have these things.

America is a place of unique freedom, where people enjoy the sucky two-party equality and its check and balances.

It doesn't sound like you've been enjoying it lately, and I don't know how you can call them equal. Do you mean by general relative size/political power? And the American system isn't the only one with an effective system of checks and balances.

It is the true enjoyment of competition we desire to excel at and prove ourselves with nothing to hold us back but the people who say we can't do that.

Again, this isn't unique to the two-party system.
Don't you see the disadvantages of a two-party system? I mean, I know technically there are other parties, but they hold no real political power. Don't you see a problem with that? Is the Republican response somewhat tied into the mentality of "we have only one political adversary"?
