The two party system in the US behaves an awful lot like good-cop/bad-cop to me.

There's a good cop?

Depends which side you're on. If you're a Democrat, Dems are the 'adults in the room.' Reps are psychomaniacs tearing it all down.

If you are a Republican, Reps are the party of the real Americans, not the elitists trying to prevent you from succeeding. Democrats are a bunch of stuck up snobs that are too book smart to know how to effectively run a government.

Pick a side.

There are more US citizens who are neither of the two than any one of them, if memory serves me right.

As for me - I'd say that Dems are the elitists trying to prevent the masses from getting what they need, and the GOP are their maniac friends tearing things down.

I am pretty sure the American political party system could be consider to be Bad-Cop / Nietzschean-Cop.

I think so, on the surface, the democratic party seems to fit pretty well with the good cop as described by [0].

But the whole thing is a farce, neither is actually acting genuinely in the interests of the subject. That's the point.
