    There really are only two because the states, except a few like Vermont, legally recognize and run elections for the duopoly parties. That confers legitimacy you don’t have when you’re running your own internal primary like a UK party, and makes it logistically impossible for third parties to actually challenge the duopoly. That’s why the elites shit a brick when we protest about Palestine but dgaf if we bother to vote or not, because it’s a CCP picking the options for Hong Kong situation.
