This is what all politicians do. It is not the Democratic Party fault it is corrupt, rather people not holding them accountable.
But both Parties control the election process and they are not allowing a third party. In the 2008 election, instead of inviting Dr Jill Stien to debate, she was detained and chained to a chair in an undisclosed location, while Barack and Romney gave a dog and pony show of vetted questions.
