      I’m sorry, what? How would the eelimination of the two big-tent political parties contravene freedom of speech?

        The First Amendment isn’t just freedom of speech; it’s also freedom of association. So, people have the right to form political parties, and they will form them unless forced not to.

        There are always going to be two big parties, due to the fact that the US uses first-past-the-post voting. FPTP creates a two-party system. This is called Duverger’s Law.
