Competitive Democracy (Web Lecture)

An election can be considered Competitive Democracy. I thought this was particularly interesting, because how can it be a democracy if only two candidates have a good chance of winning, as it is the case at every US election. One could argue that there are various other people running for the presidency. However, reality is that most don't have a good chance of winning. Some of the reasons we have a bi-partisan election is because of lack of economic resources from other parties like the green party and socialist party etc.
