Ponderable

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." -John Adams

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty" - George Washington

Yes, political parties do divide the United States. Although political parties do unite people with the same or similar beliefs it divides the entire other half of people who differ. Major issues are debated today such as abortion, war, and gun control. If we could unite over things we have in common as a whole country we could possibly solve these issues and many more. George Washington said political parties would be the fault of our nation, and that's why he didn't chose either side.

The duopoly we have been suffering under throughout my lifetime could be tamed with few laws; court decision and modest Constitutional Amendments. Examples - divide a state's electoral votes according to the popular vote in that state; elect the President and VP on separate ballots; prohibit any expenditure in Congress that recognizes party (as in Majority or Minority officers.
