The United States government is dominated by a two party political system. The Democratic Party can be described as being as socially and fiscally liberal. The Republican Party follow conservative ideologies geared toward social conservatism, and fiscal restraint, however they generally favor strong national defence expenditures.
There is no particular choice, however, the two party system in the US has worked well over the past one hundred years and more. Each party has certain commonalities such as the belief that the US Constitution is a good governing document. Both parties also believe that the free markets in the US promote good economic health. The parties therefore are only slightly different when it comes to taxation and spending. Those two factors are influenced by current or perceived economic health. It is safe to say that most Americans find comfort with both parties. That is why the two party system simply applies checks and balances against each other.
You assume it has ANY!!!
While it was not a political party in the idea of political parties today, those who opposed the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans (first political party) favored a strong federal (national) government and weak state governments. They took the name "Federalists" as that was the name given to the people who had supported ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
Jefferson wanted to seek unity between political parties because he felt it was important for Americans to unite despite their political differences. Thomas Jeffersonserved as the 3rd U.S. President.

Political parties like we have today did not exist back when George Washington was in charge. He didn't belong to a political party. In fact in his farewell speech in 1796 he warned against political parties.
it is not federalism as federalism only has 43 of 123 nations
The US political party system, for most of its history, has had a two party system. Most is a key word here. Bringing the question to today's US party system, the Democratic and Republican parties dominate the US. With that said, it should be noted that within each party are various "wings". Meaning in the Democratic Party for example purposes, there is a left wing of the party and a moderate wing and a conservative wing. This is true for the Republican party as well.
