    Yeah i used to say this as a kid: why is the government spending any money at all on primaries, and then why do they only spend money on two parties. Any private party should just pay for their own primaries, the govt should only be concerned with the general elections.

    To my prepubescent eyes, it was clearly the government rigging elections. But all the adults told me that I didn’t understand.

    Now 30 years later it’s plain as day that it was always a problem, and now we have a chomo-in-chief blowing up fishermen halfway around the world and people still don’t see the problem with the two party system.
