Thank you for your flawed opinion. While it makes absolutely no sense to me, (I voted for Obama in 2008 but a third party in 2012) I personally believe both parties are corporately owned and once you strip off the fake veneer, they are both the same; Puppets to the corporate dollar.
You go right ahead pretending there is some ideological difference between when in fact both the Democrats and Republicans are beholden to the same deity: The god of Money.
Though it might give your thinking a new spin, I think you might enjoy "Calculus of Consent" by Buchanan and Tullock. They describe how democracies function and why the help society be more efficient and create higher welfare. The book also indicates, where the pitfalls are and how they come about.
