          There’s more than two parties to choose from. There’s only two realistic choices because as a population you all choose to make it that way.

          Don’t get me wrong, the US isn’t alone here. We have the same problem here in the UK. I usually vote for a third party that more aligns with my own views, not one of the main two, and people tell me I “wasted my vote”. My response is: Did I waste my vote, or did you?

          Simpsons of course parodied the situation best when the two aliens both ran for president.

            you all choose to make it that way.

            Boomers make it that way. They’ve made it that way for decades.
