All The Same

Their are not enough choices these days in politics. The differences between Democrats and Republicans have become trivial. The reason for this is because of America's two party system. Both political parties tend to move toward the middle (the democrats being barely on the left side of things and the republicans barely on the right), therefore causing the extreme liberals and extreme conservatives to settle for the closest thing to their stance. This creates the problem of misrepresenting many citizens views.
If the U.S. would change to a multiple party system this would better represent different voters. We would not have the problem of extreme liberals having to vote democrat because their is no strong alternative. Sure, the governement wouldn't get as much done because of multiple views on different subjects, but it would better represent the people, and isn't that what a government is supposed to do?
