No Two Party System

[baddog]

California is a liberal state for sure, and all the liberals scream about democracy. Yet, when it really comes down to it, they have a one party system. This is worse than what they did to Biden. Talk about “freedom of choice”.

 California's "top-two" primary system allows for the possibility of two Democrats (or two candidates from any single party) running against each other in the general election for Governor

. 

Here's how it works:

1. Open Primary: California uses a top-two primary system, meaning all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, appear on the same primary ballot.
2. Top Two Advance: The two candidates who receive the most votes in the primary election advance to the general election.
3. Same-Party Matchup: Because the top two vote-getters advance regardless of party, it's entirely possible for two Democrats, two Republicans, or two candidates from any other single party to be the top two and face each other in the general election. 

In essence, the party affiliation of a candidate doesn't determine who advances to the general election; it's simply based on who receives the most votes in the primary. 

This system differs from traditional partisan primaries where each party chooses its own
