Why do we as Americans keep banging our heads into the wall of a 2 party system? What has either party achieved for America or done for you as an American? Isnt it way past time for Americans to be able to live as Americans again and not as slaves to a two party system that is keeping its boot on our necks?

When the government quits representing the people it's Taxation Without Representation and the reason we revolted in the first place for our new found freedom. Now we find ourselves in the same situation only they let us think our votes count in this twisted fascism they call democracy. We are slaves to the corporate giants and so are our representatives and we no longer have true representation. It's time for an overhaul in the system for sure. A revolution is badly needed. A peaceful revolution can solve this problem but most of America will have to come together to make it work. We must demand that our government stops taking money from corporate interests and make them honest.

The two party system promotes the status quo. Despite what people say, they fear meaningful change. When candidates to the left or right of the mainstream run, they are not taken seriously. If I am in the center, then I need only attract a portion of voters from both sides of that center mass to win an election. James Carville and Karl Rove are masters at getting that extra 1 or 2% that a candidate needs through whatever means necessary.

The US needs a third party before any real reform can take place. The current two parties are very similar and don't work for the average American. I would support a workers party.

i agree. We need something to rock the system, and bring 1 or more parties into the groove. I see this happening in the next 10 to 20 years, as the repub and dem party are moving to the extremes, and the majority of Americans are in the middle.

Which is why I always vote for the best person for the job, regardless of their party affiliation, and that is the only way to deal with this - don't listen to the party rhetoric... look at the records, experience and vision of the individual candidates and judge them 100% on that.

I stopped doing this in 2002. At the age of 18 in 2000 I voted for Bush to vote against Gore in Ny. In 2002 I started voting for 3rd party candidates most of the time. I am still a registered Republican to vote in the primaries. I am glad I did not switch parties, Ron Paul makes it worth it, but if he does not win I am leaving the Republican Party until the Neo-Cons leave.

Well, quite simply, no one dynamic enough has come along to adequately fuel a 3rd-party revolution.
