Biden doesn't support expanding the Supreme Court, White House says

Which would allow him to get rid of the two party system if he so desired.

Getting rid of the two party system is not something the president can unilaterally do.

Nor could we possibly expect the president or higher ups in either of the two parties to try even if they could. It really has nothing to do with the SCOTUS.

The reason we have only two viable parties is our system of voting. If we change elections at the local and state level to STAR voting, ranked choice voting, instant runoff, approval voting, or similar, other parties stand a far, far better chance.

As other parties get elected at the state level momentum builds, more jurisdictions pass such laws, and eventually we have it everywhere and for all elections.

I remember "no Obama can't do that, it would be an abuse of power" many times before Trump completely proved him wrong. The president can do a lot. A lot more than Biden is doing right now.

The only thing that Biden bypassses congress for is to send more weapons to commit genocide with.
