The only Reason Ohio is a state is because Guns owned by British/Americans murdered more Indians than Hitler killed people. Without that happening it can't exist to be a cog in a political scheme to perpetuate a 2 party system.
Mao clearly covered this aspect, that the tangential benefits,The ability to have elections,The availability of land and resources,The ability for people to exist without fear of tyranny,The ability to create lasting institutions, the civilization that sprouts when these things come together. Those things only exist because of the bubble of protection that force of arms provides.
..."Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.Yet, having guns, we can create Party organizations, as witness the powerful Party organizations which the Eighth Route Army has created in northern China. We can also create cadres, create schools, create culture, create mass movements. Everything in Yenan has been created by having guns. All things grow out of the barrel of a gun."... Mao
The reason the electoral college exists btw is because James Madison managed to argue that real politics should be kept in the hands of the few and great care should be taken to remove real political power from the majority, The only way he was in that position to influence the formation of a new government is because guns won a revolutionary war.
