You need to fix your electoral system. It's even worse than ours in the UK, and that's saying something
Fully agreed.
As a Canadian, the thing that surprises me is we somehow actually have an almost viable multi party system while still using FPTP. We've got 4-5 parties that routinely win more than 5% of the popular vote. From my very brief look at wikipedia, it sounds like you guys are in a kind of in a similar position.
I'm not well versed enough with the US system to understand why the they don't have a real labour party. Is it an organizational issue, or is it due to some additional facet of their electoral system?
(I'm not expecting you to answer, BTW, just putting it out there for anyone. :)
