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
