Try voting the TN GOP out of power.

Both systems have strong benefits for incumbents.

Strong benefits, sure.

But in China, the CCP literally determines which candidates can run for office. The TN GOP does not determine whether Democratic candidates can even run.

    But it does largely determine if they can win.

    Which is functionally identical.
