Work to end the two-party duopoly and I might start to believe it matters that Democrats aren't as bad as Trump.

EDIT: So demanding support for actual democratic reforms from "democrats" is beyond the pale now? If the Republicans are so different from Democrats, how come they're the only party Dems are willing to consider governing with?

I think you have that the wrong way around. The reason Democrats can get away with being merely preferable to the GOP is because we have a de-facto 2 party system.

who helped build the two-party system?

I think you should read a history book and watch a few videos on the statistical consequences of voting systems. Even rudimentary knowledge on the subject should illuminate how that question doesn't really make sense.
