    I mean, that’s not entirely true: the Democrats and Republicans have privileged positions with regards to ballot access, debate planning, etc.

    If the parties were truly private organizations, there would be no such thing as primaries, let alone ones administered by the state government on their behalf.

    That’s not to say I agree with the disinformation trolls, though: right now is very much not the time to bitch about the system because that only serves to help the fascists.
