We need more than these two f’d up parties.

I've said it in other threads, but these "two f'd up parties" are the expected end result of our electoral system[1]. While we very occasionally see one of the parties replaced with an upstart, the parties eventually return to a similar status quo. Grassroots movements to implement run-off elections, approval voting, or other similar plans are seeing some traction. If you really want to see change, searching for these groups locally (and volunteering or donating) might be worth the effort.
