The two party system is not democratic. Political parties need minimal governmental laws controlling their processes. The process of holding primaries in different states at differing periods does not serve democracy. It is to expensive and allows marketing manipulation rather than discussing issues. Multiple debates should be held before the first vote and inbetween votes. Voting should involve all states at one time and if no one canidate gets more than 50% of the vote you eliminate all but the two with the most votes and vote again. In primaries Majority rules I agree about Republicans and Caucus. The two party system is not democratic.
