Unfortunately you are both wrong. It very much is a one party system now. Since Citizens United, corporations can give unlimited funding to candidates. Do you really think they give money to one party OR the other? As a giant international conglomerate like Exxon or Goldman Sachs that would be very short-sighted... they want to back the winner, and the way to do that is to fund everyone. Then, no matter who wins, they own him.
Millions of dollars in Super PAC money to both candidates from the same entities...
Yet somehow people still expect candidates to act differently from each other on issues those backers consider important?
Notice how no matter who gets elected, Investment Banking Reform somehow doesn't seem to get done?
Ridiculous.
