I was wondering about that though. I'm not from the US so I don't understand the depths of the system. But wouldn't a third party only have to get a super tiny amount of votes, to become part of the government? Let's say Democrats and Republicans have 48% of the vote. And there is a third party that got 4% (in actual Electors) .

They would either have to include the small party and make some concessions to them, or agree with the other big party on a president.

Like that it should at least be possible to push a single topic through, like free Medicare. And then just work with whichever party is less against it.

The other alternative would be, for the pay of the jobs to lower. So you would get 1.500€ more, but your job pays you a similar amount less.

That still has the advantage, that you are not forced to your job that much and it makes changing work easier.

Only a super power with that much infighting can be friendly

I don't get it. Does that mean on average a couple using condoms for 10 years will be pregnant 1.5 times?

What in wondering, if that would be the case of it being paid by Russia. Why would they stop right at the elections? The government is still in a very unstable state and the AFD is as strong as ever. More terror attacks would increase the pressure of the CDU folding over to work with the afd.

But maybe it could also make the SPD more likely to compromise in some aspects.
