What's most egregious is we're all victims of a 2 party system that allows for no one outside those 2 parties to have a real shot at getting elected. Ross Perot is as close as anyone ever came to making a 3rd party candidate president and sadly all that did was divide the opposition parties vote and allowed Clinton a victory. This of course has lead most folks to stay within the confines of the 2 party system ever since because of that result.

The real answer to a much needed political change here would be the implementation of term limits which could well end the block voting from long term incumbents who refuse to stray from the party lines. A constitutional convention is the only way that will ever come to pass though because the powers that be in congress would never vote that in.
