When the gov and giant corps are in bed together, it almost makes for a fascist state. Just need to solidify the power into one, maybe two parties for good PR and...oh wait...

Well, yeah....

There has to be at least two so they can argue about stuff that doesn't effect the people so wealthy to be insulated from them...

Meanwhile no matter who wins an election, the rich win 100% of the time.

Bonus point if your two official parties are also "private groups" who can do literally anything they want. They could even legally nominate the exact same person to the general even if that person didn't run in either primary.

They're private parties, they can do whatever the fuck they want and they're also the only ones who can change the system they dominate.

You do that, and revolution is more of an inevitablity on a long enough timeline.
