And the system is rigged. It's rigged towards the two main parties. It's rigged towards re-electing the same people. Smaller parties get no representation, and have no chance in any meaningful election. The influence of the Democrats and Republicans over the election system is enormous.
But between the Dems and the Reps? Those two are fairly balanced. There is some rigging in some states through gerrymandering and making it harder for some groups to vote, but it's on a very different scale than the rigging towards the two-party establishment.
