Well I know its easier said then done, but hey if more Americans considered the value of a US without the two party system, that would be a start.
Well, we've got approximately 25% of the country who are rabid liberal and approximately 25% of the country who are rabid conservative, and approximately 50% of the country who are in the more moderate range but, the problem is, there is no party that represents the 50% and usually all third parties favor the extremes, not the middle. So, the middle 50% are constantly forced to choose between the lesser of two evils or have their votes not count. And, that's exactly what happened in the 2016 election. We had the two worst nominees in the history of the country and the people in the middle decided that Trump was the lesser of the two evils. If we redid the election today and these people decided that, in hindsight, Hillary was the lesser of the two evils, it still doesn't change the fact that Hillary was still evil. The were both evil choices.
