The United States government is considered a two party system because nearly all elected officials belong to one of the two major political parties in the United States, the Democrat or Republican parties. That being said, it does not mean that people who would like to run for office but do not want to affiliate with either of the parties cannot run. Independents can run for office but it is much more difficult due to increasing campaign spending.

The United States has a two-party system.
The US did not originally have a two party system. There were several parties in the beginning, and even George Washington warned against the two party system. Over the years however, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have become the dominant parties in the US. There are still other parties, such as the Independant, Green, Socialist, and even Communist parties. Usually these parties don't get enough votes or attention to become popular though.
