Iran’s 1979 revolutionary councils out-represented the US two-party system

Evidence

To be sure, there are alternative forms of governance that various people’s movements have thrown up, including during the Iranian revolution of 1979, which are arguably more representative than the two-party system in the United States dominated by the slave era Electoral College system. However, such discussions are not possible in an ideological system where Western and US democratic systems are seen as the pinnacle of political development and freedom. — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 384
