I'm not from the US, but from India, and it's the same here. "Left" and "Right" may be misnomers, but there are effectively two main blocks at the national level, and supporters of each block get slotted into one of the two.

You're either PiS/Konfederacja supporter, or PO/Left/P2050 parties. There is no chance of any other coalition, and everyone knows this.

Choice is - do you want to dismantle democracy, or would you rather not. Sigh.
