The Two Party System

Nicolás Gómez Dávila (1913-1994), Escolios a un Texto Implicito, II (Bogotá: Instituto Colombiano de Cultura, 1977), p. 69 (my translation):
Democracy tolerates only two parties: one is the mouthpiece for stupid ideas, the other is the defender of filthy greed.

La democracia sólo tolera dos partidos: el vocero de las ideas estúpidas, el protector de las codicias sórdidas.
