My class is conducting a debate and we are debating the topic of the 2 party system. My team is the Pros and we are supporting it. Unfortuanately, the other team has gone to several extremes in preparing for the debate and our team is left behind. I need some information and good snappy points that we can throw at them and get a guaranteed point and upper-hand during the debate.

P.S- the so totally brilliant idea of this debate was to have us debate these adults (we are still entering middle school) who have studied this in college.
