“What I think really happened is about 64 percent of the American people rejected the two-party system,” Bernie Sanders, US senator and possible presidential candidate, said recently on Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report.”

When Bernie says 64% of the people rejected the two-party system in the 2014 mid-term elections, what does this mean?
It means only one-third of the people accepts this system that 64% rejects. It means the reactionary and swine-like third of the people — a minority of the people — now dominate the political arena. It means the political arena is now a pigsty.
What is this two-party system that Bernie mentions?
In a 1959 article Work In the Two-Party System, William Z. Foster said the two-party system is “two old bourgeois parties.”
Hence, the two-party system is nothing but bourgeois rule or bourgeois power over the people.
 
So, 64% of the people reject  bourgeois rule or power.
To win, Bernie has to show the people that he is not a gluttonous hog who solely and exclusively represents the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie even in the regime’s touted democratic form.
Two-thirds of the people are fed-up with those “two old bourgeois parties.”
Clearly, 64% will not pick a candidate solely on party label. To the 64%, the labels DP and GOP are worthless.
Most likely, 64% will pick despite the presence of worthless and rejected labels.
64% may look for the candidate that represents chiefly the working and middle classes, despite his or her odious label.
Bernie has a big head start over all of his rivals.
