Dems and Reps are handicaps.

Time for revolution. forget this country.
A revolution to what? Don't be so naive, you realize that contemporary revolutions/coups almost always end in an authoritarian opportunist seizing power, right? Whenever a power vacuum is created (as in the collapse/overthrow of a government) there is a chance for a tyrant to rise.

Ex: Junta/AAA installing Pinochet in Chile, Chavez in Venezuela, Castro in Cuba, China/Soviet backed paramilitary forces installing the Kim regime in NK, etc etc.

If you think the two-party system is stuff, wait until you see a uniparty with the overt goal of loving over anyone in their way.

Look at what Stalin and his goons did in the USSR. They assassinated Trotsky, drove around in mobile gas-chambers to murder perceived enemies of the state, they murdered hundreds of thousands of people that they deemed to be threats to themselves through some combination of shooting, stabbing, hanging, and gassing. This isn't even mentioning the further millions they killed through incompetence.

Mao and the Red Guards got up to similar shenanigans in China, but they also destroyed irreplaceable pieces of their own history and heritage while they were at it, going so far as to drag the mummified bodies of past emperors out of tombs, nail them to trees, cut off their genitalia, and burn them along with the priceless artifacts from their burial sites.

But what of the people that helped these animals come to power? What happened to them? The more powerful among the revolutionaries were often lined up and shot, with the weaker and more controllable either being imprisoned in labor camps or sent back to the countryside to live in poverty and famine. 

Any sort of revolutionary in the modern era, especially marxists/socialists, don't loving realize that when the revolution happens, they will not be the ones in control. When they've outlived their usefulness the revolutionaries will be forced to dig their own graves, lined up, and slaughtered like hogs by the very regime they installed.

there were also government shutdowns when dems had control, cause of republicans not budging on certain things as well. i dont think that 'shutting gov't down' is a particularly significant indicator of the party being bad as a whole.
Both parties are bad. TULSI/TURNER/SANDERS 2020

You also rank candidates in single-transferable vote but you usually elect multiple reps per district. That's how you should elect local reps anyways
