    The two party system makes zero sense to me because it doesn’t seem

    That’s because you haven’t seen it for what it is - a glorified “good cop/bad cop” routine.

      More like “neutral cop/fascist cop who will do away with your right to the due process allowing you to talk to these cops in the first place”

        There is no such thing as a “non-fascist” cop - it literally comes with the territory.

            Actually, the metaphor works a bit better than you think. If there is no such thing as a cop that cannot not serve the fascist institution that employs them, it might just be true that there is no such thing as a politician that cannot not serve the interests that assures them their power and privilege.
