There are two parties because it’s a first past the post system, but that is a red herring. It’s not the source of the problem. The problem is that the US is a bourgeois democracy, AKA an oligarchy.

We’ve been propagandized to believe that “centrist” journalism is the most reliable, and that the further from center the less reliable, and given how far to the right the Overton window is in capitalist states, “centrism” is objectively right wing.

Edit to add: even what the average person considers to be”ethical” is shaped by how he ruling class. In capitalist states, for instance, private property is sacrosanct.

What the propagandized perceive as “unbiased” is in fact the hegemonic bias of the ruling class. That’s what you’re asking for without even realizing it.

The word primordial doesn’t imply anything living. It means something that came before something else. It’s the soup of organic compounds from which life originally formed.

It’s a quote from the eponymous Pink Floyd album.
