Can anything be fixed as long as we're stuck in a two party system where both sides pretty much know that they've got their constituency by the balls? No matter what the Democrats do to piss me off, at the end of the day, I'll put up with their shit because it's better than letting the Republicans take power. I'm sure there are right-wingers with the exact opposite predicament. How can this problem be addressed, if at all?

I am not saying there is moral equivalency. If there was, there would be no problem with people like me simply rejecting both sides. Instead, both parties are bad (in my opinion) but one is so clearly worse that I'm forced to choose the "lesser of two evils." I don't see how you can say that Democrats are largely working for the people when they voted to take us into Iraq (granted, that was a while ago), tried to ram SOPA down out throats, didn't oppose Obama on the indefinite detection provisions of NDAA 2012, didn't stand with Rand Paul against the use of drones (which was the perfect opportunity for some of that bipartisanship I've heard so much about), haven't held Obama's feet to the fire on Gitmo, haven't taken Obama to task for being soft on Wall St., etc.
