I have said before, the system is designed to punish voters who even dare to think about stepping out of line.
It’s going to be “so you really want to throw tantrum and risk having a Republican elected huh? Well here you go, enjoy 4 years of conservative presidency! Let’s see how much you’re gonna regret when it happens. All you minorities who didn’t vote for us, enjoy the punishment! We’ll see you in 4 years’ time when you finally crawl back to us to beg for mercy. Then we’ll reconsider if we’ll change our stance about your welfare.”
The two party system is designed to work in such synergistic fashion to make sure that American democracy functions as smoothly as it could.
