Our elections are a sham in favor of two parties that are so similar as to be two sides of the same coin

There is no disputing the headlock that the old parties have on political offices, at least at the state and national levels. The D's and R's have voted themselves many advantages and given other opponents many hurdles to overcome. By using tax money and by soliciting contributions in return for political votes, they've also raised the cost of running a successful campaign almost out of reach. In so doing, the Democratic and Republican parties have virtually destroyed the idea of representative government. While we disparage other nations that don't have competitive elections, and even militarily intervene in the name of open elections, our own elections are a sham in favor of two parties that are so similar as to be two sides of the same coin...
