The two party system is a direct consequence of the antiquated boring system US (and UK and CA) have. While it remains, voting for a minor party is a wasted vote.
Need ranked preference voting to make minor parties feasible like AU, or better yet go to an even fairer system of mixed member proportional like NZ and DE.

If you're a wage earner, need an education, health care, an abortion, or working infrastructure... your vote's wasted almost everywhere in this country.
That's the two party system.
False equivalence.
No it isn't.
All of these issues will remain the same no matter who you vote for.
The Democrats have had the White House and Congress twice in the last sixteen years, and even had a supermajority for part of Obama's presidency.
All we (and by 'we' I mean the poor and middle class) got for it was more expensive health care and higher war spending. We didn't get a minimum wage increase. Health care and education are now cost-prohibitive for tens of millions, and infrastructure in most areas of the country is declining. For an added kick in the junk, Roe was repealed when Democrats had the majority and the White House and they did nothing about it.
Tell me you don't pay attention to or understand American politics without telling me...
The supermajority is the only time the democrats reasonably could have pushed anything through while the Republican party's only goal is to obstruct any and all progress. Any yes, during that time there was lots of infighting. We also guaranteed health insurance for the first time and passed the ACA.
Want change? Go make it instead of yelling at a bunch of people that also want change on a semi-popular forum.
