So Obama just put raising taxes on the table...

There are other parties you can vote for. Dont think you're gonna "split the vote" if you vote for a 3rd party. Thats the way most people think, that it HAS to be D or R.

Notice where I said "one can dream"..the current system favors the 2 party system and that's not going to change unfortunately.

I also think that the whole democrat and republican 2 party system should be dismissed, and in turn have a new party called the "NO bullshit" party. Which means no bullshit, straight to the point. Where politicians actually tell the truth, do what they say they're going to do, and have the general populations best interest in mind.

As I'm sure you know, there is no rule that says we have to have a two party system so how are you going to "dismiss" them when we are all the ones keeping them there? A single vote for republicans or democrats doesn't have any more power than a vote for a third party. You don't get extra points for voting for the winning team. The two party system will end as soon as the American public decides to end it.

This is not true at all. The government backs the 2 party system, it's not up to the american people. You think the american people have any real power here? Not unless your in the top 1%, then no. This is not a democracy, remember that.

So if every American voted for a third party candidate in every election possible, we would still be left with a two party system? Can you explain further because I don't understand how you are reaching your conclusion that it is impossible to change from a two party system.
