Hello,

I think there's a lack of understanding out there about how the two party system really works. We like to think that we all participate in a democracy. In our system, though, the two parties have a lock on the system and can organize it how they see fit. Remember, the DNC and RNC are not governmental organizations and are therefore not bound by the rules set out for governmental election procedures.

Thanks!
