The Yankee system became a complete dog and pony show when they made bribery legal.
Sanders is the first sane candidate in decades. Maybe since the Kennedy's. He's not for kill all the foreigners and give the rich everything.
The average American Democrat is to the right of Attila the Hun. The Trial Lawyers, Financiers and Media Moguls that fund and control the American Democrat party aren't interested in a Conservative - maybe even, Gasp, Liberal leaning candidate that might actually "adjust" some of the elite's advantages.
While the average American Republican is to the right of any American Democrat, they have a severe disadvantage. They actually won't vote if the "wrong" candidate wins the nomination.
This is because of the way that American Political Parties "buy" the votes of their supporters.
American Democrats buy their supporter's votes by ensuring that people that aren't citizens of the USA can vote on election day. This inserts the supporter into the Social Security "family" and their non-citizen status "gets lost". This ensures that their Children are born American, the parents become eligible for government benefits and they become protected by the various non-discrimination laws.
American Republicans buy their supporter's votes by ensuring that they appeal to the absolute lowest common denominator in Religious Thought, in fear of Others, in pure Racism and envy of Success. The problem for the Republicans is that only the factions that the nominated candidate belongs to, will vote on election day. That's why, whatever the Republican was doing Saturday evening, they are in Church on Sunday morning. That's why the NRA/Second Amendment and Guns are important to fight off the "Others". That's why a colored person running as a Republican is always an "Uncle Tom". And that's why Success must be hidden and apologized for by any good Republican.
The Democrat's "Base" is constantly growing because 100s of Thousands of new people arrive in the USA every year. The Republican's "Base" has the potential to grow because people that can't use birth control, can't have abortions and can't have sex education - have babies. Problem is; they "discipline" their children to death, have a high degree on incest births with the equally high degree of mental incapacity and a very high rate of infant mortality.
Even in Military Establishments the races establish "turf". It's so bad that the USS Hampton (SSN-767) had to be towed into San Diego because the Nuclear and Propulsion Rooms were "off limits" to members of other races and the gang in possession didn't know how to repair the problem. The Commander and all 11 other Officers were relieved of duty along with a number of the non-commissioned crew.
