Amen. Both parties are equally hostile to my freedom and well being. I would love to have another option, but Americans have been brainwashed by the parties in power to think that they are "wasting" their vote if they vote for anyone else. I have voted third party in every election since I turned 18, but as long as that pernicious lie continues to spread nothing will change. It's a dumpster fire and I don't expect it'll ever be fixed in my lifetime.

They are wasting their vote and actively vote against their interests by voting third-party.

This is a well established fact and the main reason why the voting system needs an overhaul to allow for ranked choice or something similar.

Chances of Duopoly parties doing that by their own are 0% - so it has to be the people.

No they’re not. If a third party gets 5% of the vote, they receive federal funding during the next election which could be enough to make them go mainstream. Also every vote is tallied so your vote is more visible when you vote for a 3rd party. Anonymously of course.
