Both parties need people to come out and vote.  

What needs to happen is that people need to stop considering Republicans and Democrats as the only options. Until the chokehold the two parties have on governance is broken, nothing will change.

I don't see our de facto two party system as the most problematic aspect of our governmental system. Perhaps if we had more parties pushing a greater variety of agendas they'd have to stop avoiding all specificity. Perhaps. More likely the parties with the broadest backing would still obfuscate to avoid alienating supporters. I have to doubt that our largely uneducated electorate is going to suddenly become more shrewd just because there are more options.

A bigger problem is that power is difficult to wield in the US. Separation of powers is supposed to provide checks and balances. It simultaneously hinders actually accomplishing anything toward change. As a result "Separation of powers" and "checks and balances" become code for "preservation of the status quo".
