John Oliver...Spotlight on Johnson and Stein

I don't really have the answer exactly how to fix it, but I do know that repeatedly voting for the lesser of two evils and expecting something to change is insane.

Tell me how, as a nation, we could vote our way out of it.

Getting Jill Stein elected doesn't fix any of it.  Even if we all voted for her, it doesn't, inherently fix the 2 party system, as the house and congress aren't likely to let anything pass that allows them to lose power either.
