It seems to me there are alot of people in our country that don't care about our system of government and the ways elected officials can make changes that effect us all.
Isn't it obvious that not voting your conscience is just cheating
yourself? Instead of voting with their hearts, it seems people would rather choose the lesser of two evils from 2 parties than stray from the normal and vote for maybe an independent or someone that best fits their own character.
Why is it when there is a national televised debate Democrats and Republicans are the only ones invited? Aren't we a more diverse nation than that?
The same 'ol same is getting pretty lame! Come on folks, we can do better! What are your thoughts on making other candidates heard?

It's rigged for the 2 parties by the 2 parties. And yes it is lame, as well as unamerican.

because the game is rigged and its done that way to give the illusion of democracy and that your vote counts , when the one who will be president has already been chosen years in advance

If they did stories on other candidates, they would lose viewers & therefore advertising.
