Republicans and Democrats Forbid Competition

December 2, 2005 |

You can’t escape the authoritarian fact that republicans and democrats are silent partners in a duopoly to prevent non affiliated politicians from posing a serious threat to their elected members. They claim it is to keep the riff raff from cluttering your elections, but you can be just as sure it is about placing expensive hurdles in the way of the less well-funded competition.

Besides, the unfair laws protecting the big two are flat-out unconstitutional — as if that means anything to anybody in this day and age of willful indifference.

Dimitri Valissaros has a fine commentary at the Trib to bring you up to speed on the issue.
