The Two party system in the United States does not adequately represent the people.

"Off your first point about there is not an official two party system I have the following responses: 1)ಠ_ಠ" I'm sorry, but you're apparently going to have to repeat that one. "2) I realized that there are multiple political parties when I wrote this and the intention was to evaluate the paradigm of two dominant parties in the United states." OK, then let's discuss that. The fact that there ARE just two dominant parties in the U.S., in the face of no real impediments to the formation of additional parties, strongly suggests that the majority of Americans ARE at least sufficiently satisfied with this situation so as not to have strong motivation to change it. Again, whether you or I are completely aligned with these parties, and feel they either one represents our views adequately, is not a relevant concern; in this case, it IS literally the case of the majority ruling. If it's true that the two "dominant" parties are not adequately representing the majority of American voters - then why, exactly, do they remain dominant? If you're going to claim that this is because the American public are being led around like sheep by these two parties, that's still hardly an argument that the voters are not being adequately represented. A voting public which is that apathetic is getting precisely the representation they appear to want. "3) I think its best that the current dominant parties are ignored by US voters and new parties (more than 2) are put into effect." You may think that personally, but again - so what? How would you propose to cause the two dominant parties to be "ignored" by the American voters, and new parties "put into effect"? For that matter - where would these supposed new parties come from? There are already, as noted earlier, dozens of other parties, a few of which (such as the Greens and Libertarians) are starting to make some progress in fielding candidates. Many of the rest are clearly single-issue fringe groups, but the point is: where are you expecting these supposedly "completely new" parties to come from, if they're not already among these existing organizations? Why would they not simply wind up being versions of the existing Republican or Democratic parties under new labels? Do you propose to FORCE additional parties to somehow be created? If so - under what mandate? Again, the majority of Americans have, for whatever reason, chosen NOT to abandon the existing dominant parties. So how do you propose to implement what you, in an apparent minority position, feel is preferable? What makes you right, and the American public wrong on this topic? Would you be justified in breaking up or otherwise reducing the supposed "domination" of the present two dominant parties, simply by a dictatorial declaration? "Finally your last statement that americans are not dissatisfied with the parties is also false, the republican party is currently going through a huge shake, the truely conservative parts of the party feels as though the politicians are not actually conservative and the religious right are angry that republicans aren't doing anything and a possible party split is on the horizon." But if that's true, and your supposed "party split" should come to pass, it would merely mean that the current system is NOT broken, and in fact corrects itself as desired by the voting public. Frankly, I don't expect a significant part of the Republican party to break away; we might see a relatively small minority try to make it as yet another "third party," but I seriously doubt that we will see any real challenge to the currently-dominant two parties in the foreseeable future. The current Democratic and Republican parties have NOT been the be-all and end-all of American politics throughout our history. A quick review of election results since the adoption of the current Constitution will show this. We no longer have Whigs or Federalists, for example; those parties faded and were replaced by others, just as (someday) the current Republican and Democratic parties may be replaced or change into something else. The bottom line is that we clearly do NOT have a formal two-party-and-ONLY-two-party system in this country, so any argument based on the assumption that we do is flawed from the beginning.
