Simply not true. There are literally dozens of options on every ballot. I believe there were eight or ten choices on the Presidential ballot alone.
But nobody votes for them because they never get elected so no-one votes for them so they never get elected.

Either you vote one way or the other, since only one of the two stands a chance of defeating the other.
Any other vote is wasted.

Hence why we should listen to that one Federalist paper that talked about how factions (parties) are dangerous to our country and stop subscribing to either "HURR I VOAT REPUBLIKAN" or "MOAR LIEK REPUBLICANT, VOTE DEMOCART"

Exactly, they are dangerous and anti-democratic.

...this.

Also, don't forget that we don't have a Parliamentary system here, so an in-power party and an opposition party set up actually works just as well under our construct as multi-party/coalition governments do under a parliamentary system. That doesn't mean that we can't have more than the two parties represented (we do...at least in the House and have in Governorships and various local offices).

I'm sorry, I already pay more than half of my income to taxes in one form or another. How much more do you suggest I give? Tell ya what, I will just go to work, and leave all my money to govt. and I will let them give me an allowance from my own earnings. That way, I can be assured that I will not make too much or enjoy more than my fair share. I mean forget the fact that I might have worked hard for what I have. Will that satisfy you?
