I think the two party system is hurting America, but the other options are ever worse.

No. I say in the next decade or so more and more people will get disgusted by the two parties pretending to be different and smaller parties will gain popularity. That is if the terrorist won't blow us to bits and declare Muslim law in the US

Hurting us? Hell, it's KILLING us. It's not "We The People" anymore, it's "Us the Politicians, Screw You".
If there was ever a time that a so-called "third party" was going to step up to the plate, it is NOW.
Would anyone here continually eat at a restaurant that *only* served two items, over and over again? On a much larger scale, that's EXACTLY what we are doing, politically.
We are not voting for people we believe in; we are voting for the person we think sucks the *least*.

If there wasn't a two party system the citizens of the country wouldn't be able to vote out people that were doing a bad job.

Do not think that 2 party or even 3 would hurt America as long as there are some commen ground to stand and unit over.
Be well dear !

True. At least the two-party system forces the opposition all into one party, generally.

Two party? They are the same. We need multi party systems. This nonsense with the two parties is ridiculous. Both democrats and republicans firmly holding their ankles for Capital/big business!

It's a joke. Both parties are financed by the same corporate big boys. Average Americans have no say in what happens.

I HOPE NOT WE NEED MORE OF A CHOICE. THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS MAKING MOST AMERICANS PICK THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS . WHAT TYPE OF CHOICE IS THAT?

I think too many people think it is not working, and now we are seeing the need for true representation. I think we need a 'populist' party, myself.
