Mark Cuban blasts 2-party political system that boosts "extreme views"

Context: Cuban’s direct-to-consumer pharmacy business, Cost Plus Drugs, launched in January with the aim to shed light on the drug supply chain and rebate system, providing discounts on generic medications.

• The business model comes in part as a result of a political system and pharmaceutical industry that Cuban described as "f*cked up."

What he's saying: Cuban also criticized primary elections, saying people who vote in them often have the most "extreme views," making candidates more likely to try to appeal to those "extreme" voters.

• He said he could see himself working to push ranked-choice voting and open primaries as a way to "start to reduce some of the divisiveness.”
• He pointed to New York's recent elections as an example that worked.
