But yes, there is a connection between the political primary system and the "two party system". They are two heads of the same monster that has taken over government throughout the US.

In the late 60's the Democrat and Republican parties were described as "a two headed goat which feeds from one trough" and a "third" party was formed in response to that belief - La Raza Unida.
That racial party crashed and burned, but its goals are now being realized through the Democrats.
Look at the California legislature since Willie Brown finally and deservedly got axed, how have "term limits" fixed our mess?
Not at all. Actually made them much, much worse.
What's the solution? Right now I can only think of the guillotine. But, what did that really do for France, beside kill lots of French citizens and, through Napoleon taking advantage of the turmoil under the guise of "revolution", plunge Europe into devastating war for many decades?
Will creating a third party help us, or hopeless divide our votes?
