The correct criticisms are 1, 3, and 4.

- It impacts election outcomes by pulling voters from another candidate (vote‑splitting/spoiler effect).
- It is too polarizing and limits alternative viewpoints (entrenches a binary choice, marginalizes third parties).
- It leads to spoiler candidates (third‑party or independent runs can change outcomes by drawing votes from a major party).

"It favors liberal over conservative ideologies" is not a general criticism of the two‑party system—two‑party systems don’t inherently prefer one side; effects depend on the country’s political landscape.
