    Washington warned against political parities, period. The problems of first past the post creating a two party duopoly weren’t understood at the time.

    It’s not a very practical approach to nationwide electoral strategy, IMO. Washington himself was allied with Hamilton’s Federalist party in practice, even if he never officially declared for it.
