That stability is offered by many as reason enough to avoid rocking the boat. But, as presented here, the arguments against the two-party system and, indeed, maybe against stability itself, are more persuasive. The U.S. can handle electoral dynamics associated with more than two parties, and it seems that the governing body can only benefit from the injection of new, perhaps radical, ideas. While the two-party system is unlikely to change in the near future, it seems possible that a charismatic and visionary leader from a third party could tap into broad public dissatisfaction and create a whole new chapter for America.

Ignorance also enables parties and politicians in power to win elections because ignorant voters are more likely to pick a familiar name than an unfamiliar name. Pollsters have the power to shape public opinion in conjunction with the media. Because of this Robinson ultimately claims that ignorance is one of the biggest threats to democracy.
