Demand real Democracy today. More people need to get involved and informed. Apathy needs to end. People have to realize what and how the two party system is killing any choice and that without choice there is no freedom. America needs to wake up and demand an end to all those roadblocks standing in the way of third party candidates.
I would advice cooperation between ALL third parties on this issue from far left to far right. They have to set their differences aside and realize the two big parties ARE working together to keep them out and in the struggle for real change they should be allies no matter how far apart they are. All this is not easy but I believe that is the way.

Consider the some of extremely popular figures who ran for President as third party candidates: William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, John Anderson, Ralph Nader, and Ross Perot. Very compelling and charismatic, yet they all failed because they did not have enough money to sustain their initial momentum. Today, it would be even more difficult for a third party candidate to capture the Presidency.. A campaign can cost as much as a billion dollars. And, not only is the two party system even more entrenched by time and custom, but both the Democrats and Republicans can and will use their vast machinery and media connections to snuff out any surging third party movement. You know this is true!
The only way to change the two party monarchy is to reform the parties themselves. That is very possible. Look at how the Republican party changed between 1960 and 1980, for example. Think of the array of choices the Republicans now have from Huckabee to Giuliani to McCain to Ron Paul. They are all very different, and a changed party may emerge from the primaries.
I really think that is the most we can realistically hope for.

We don't have a monarchy. Monarchy is royalty, you get power by birthright. Our leaders are elected.
Ignoring that fact, there really aren't many differences between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party anymore, so it would probably be possible, though I'm not sure what would be done regarding the smaller parties.
I assume that you meant "Burn down" in a figurative sense, correct?

We can succeed by returning to the principles established by our Founding Fathers.
THAT is what the FIRST American Revolution was all about.
The Democrats want to establish a Socialist/Marxist tyrannical government.
The Republicans want a tyranny led by Industrialists.
Our BRILLIANT Founding Fathers knew that power corrupts so they gave us a government severely limited in it power. They gave us a Bill of Rights keeping all significant powers in the hands of the citizen.
The citizens have WASTED their inheritance by rejecting personal responsibility and demanding everything be done by a potentially tyrannical and excessively powerful centralized federal government.
Return to the Constitution.
Eliminate the lawyers with their specious arguments designed to shift YOUR power from you to their friends in office.
Lawyers should not be permitted to hold political office, except on the supreme court. It is a conflict of interest and upsets the balance of powers.

It's not clear what you are trying to imply in this question -- we don't have a monarchy and haven't since 1776. The term "two party monarchy" makes no sense at all.

I don't see the "revolution" you speak of. I guess if people vote in hordes for third party candidates this election you will be right.
