If there is no alternative view, you end up with a dictator like system. How many recessions/depressions did we have to endure during that time frame?
Dissenting points of view don't have to be presented by a codified two-party system.
Even the Communist Party of China has internal rivalries.
As a pragmatic alliance of liberals, moderates, and conservative elements, the Democratic Party is already pretty limp wristed as an organization. The loss of the Republican Party would only make it weaker, as the risk of losing chairs on special committees, or alliances with the nation's social and economic elite, would no longer be an ever present threat that Democratic leadership could use to punish Democrats who stray from the platform.
