No, I'm actually playing the "being logical" card. Perhaps you could respond in kind.
The vast majority of those living or working inside the beltway are staunch defenders the political status quo and, in particular, the two-party duopoly. You are only one such example.
Moreover,
any argument you can make in defense of the two-party system can be logically extended to expound the virtues of the one-party system, especially that annoying problem with "parties being in the bargaining position of deciding legislative outcomes."
