The democrans and republicrats aren't making sense any more. They all sound alarmingly alike.
Since the last great influx of immigrants in 1905 our representatives have illegally frozen their numbers at 435 despite the fact our population has tripled in the past 100 years. The "terror" of European immigrants has long faded, and the new "terror" of Mexican immigrants taken its place, but our rights as citizens continues to be abridged.
Thomas Jefferson wrote 1 per 30,000 into law, we now have one representative per 750,000 citizens.
Perhaps it is time to change:

return to 1 House rep per 30,000 citizens..............
which will allow unafilliated voters a voice.............
unafilliated candidates to give you a choice.....
we are Not a democracy, but we have become Not a republic..........no one represents 1/3 of this country

You have identified a known problem.

There are plenty of candidates and parties out there. Very few people vote for them because they've been conditioned to think this is a two-party system.

It's not.

However, 1 rep per 30K would be..... 10,000 members of the House of Representatives. We can't get anything done with 435 -- increasing that 25x would only make matters worse.

Just look at the history of past parties. Parties change over time. These will eventually too. There are other parties too, like the libertarian, green, etc... it takes awhile to get enough passionate people to actually follow a new party though. A looong time.
