If Team Red is planting their own members in Team Blue in order to bamboozle voters, and if Team Blue is actively sponsoring the campaigns of Team Red, then can we truly say we live in even a two-party democracy? Or do we just have a single political class in a two-colored dress, who biennially hand us a half-broken “stop the baddies” button while pinky-promising to duct tape our problems if we press it enough times?
As a NO-US dual citizen who’s spent a lot of time in both countries and voted in either country’s elections, I would say that America needs PLPR like yesterday, but even PLPR is a deeply flawed system: still an improvement over the status quo by all means, but the real problem runs much deeper.
