Except not really. We are seeing systemic establishment manipulation of the primaries by both the dems and reps, in both parties to stop Trump / Bernie. On top of that, nothing about these parties primaries needs to be democratic - they are private organizations, they can do whatever they want to nominate a candidate for president. The only democracy we have is that mandated by law, and that democracy has devolved to two choices handed to you by two gargantuan establishment organizations and all the donors behind them.
