America needs a change in the political system. However, I have no idea of American law and whether that is even possible with the current constitution. If it is, both parties have not shown any effort to democratize the country by allowing smaller parties to participate, but protected their asses. I that's the case, enough pressure is needed to push for change.
The idea of "democracy" is that all power comes from the people. I don't see that in America.
Why would both parties change a system where both of them have 50% chance to rule? American democracy is ran by billionaires to benefit billionaires
the democrats usually use the law to keep smaller parties off of the ballot legally to prevent smaller parties from participating.
the republicans also do it, but it's exceptionally rare and so understood that; effectively speaking; it's the democrats who do it.
