When you have 2 parties that dominate the political landscape, but both are actually just 2 sides of the same coin, your vote doesn’t matter. Without the money that backs those 2 parties, no other players have the funding needed to get elected. Even if, by some miracle, some independent or alternative party member did get elected, how much cooperation would they get in a system full of individuals more concerned about preserving the power of their own party than serving the people? None. Both dominant players have a vested interest in making sure they remain the only players in that game.

Unfortunately the US is not a parliamentary system, I’m actively making plans to move to one somewhere (soon) before I wake up one day in the Republic of Gilead.
