Centrist parties have come and gone over the years...some destroyed internally some externally. Overall the theme has been a thorough rejection by the voters (albeit at points there have been short lived surges). A theme that can be noticed is that this is a rather American simulator (with a few differences) and so a swing towards a 2 party/coalition system is not all that shocking. Most of the people that have an issue with the 2 party/coalition system also tend to be international posters, not that this is an issue as that is to be expected to, if the game became more balanced between American and non-american posters, then the system might change....

I would have to disagree. The lack of participation by the registered voters here, along with there being a set of disaffected voters indicate that Atlasian two party system generates apathy among those not part of the political elite of the duopoly. In all truth, we need change to generate interest among players here, because Discord drama isn’t cutting it for a lot of folks.
I don't think it's the 2 party system generating apathy....I doubt things would be any different if we had, say, a 6 party system
