I think there are a LOT of people dissatisfied with the democratic party. I'm one of them. But what's the alternative? When have the green party or libertarians had enough political power to have a significant influence on politics? Have we ever had a president from a third party? Has the congressional majority ever been in the hands of a political party other than those two?
IMO, I'd like to see some fundamental changes to our political system to encourage third party participation. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. The people in power achieved power with the system the way it is; why would they want to rock the boat if rocking the boat could cause them to lose power?
