>How often do voters get a real choice rather than two slightly different sides of the same coin? The fact that voters don't have much choice is their own fault. It's their job to reform the system if they don't like it. >I seem to remember multiple presidential primaries in the US where progressive candidates get side-lined within the party as either un-electable Again, this is the voters' fault. If they don't like it, they should do more to change it. >How are voters supposed to vote for true progressive candidates who want to change the system in a major way if they cant even compete on an even playing field If the citizens of a country don't like the way the elections are run, it's their job to change it, by whatever means are necessary. That is what it means when I say that every nation has the government it deserves. This applies to every nation (except maybe occupied ones), no matter what kind of government it has. The citizens are the ones who ultimately have the power, so if their government sucks, it's their own fault.
