Having spent decades engineering - and aggressively defending - their duopoly, both Democrats and Republicans now enjoy the poisoned fruit of their anti-democratic manipulations.
In 2024, the major party candidates were elected by a mere 23% of eligible voters, inevitably leading to the loudest, angriest, most partisan elements prevailing.
Politicians of both parties are trapped in a cycle where they need to appease primary voters by tacking hard left or right, then pretend to move to the middle for the general election.
The opportunity for the Democratic Party to break out of the crises it faced was hindered by a back-room coalition preventing any debate about the party's future at the convention.
