Mark I sympathize with you, I really do, but (in round terms) 30% of people will vote Dem come hell or high water, because they always have and/or their parents did.
Ditto for Rep voters.
Of the remaining 40%, 30% won't bother to vote at all - which leaves about 10% to vote for truly independent candidates.
Please bear in mind that these are rounded-out numbers - just illustrative - but it's the same world wide, as I discovered to my dismay when I used to think along the same lines as you.
I quite like Ron Paul (though I am no Libertarian) and think he would make a good candidate, but he does not stand a snowflakes chance in hell ... nor did Ralf Nader, nor Ross Perot.
Trouble is that the foxes are in charge of the hen coops and the great majority of people are too stuck in their ways, or just plain ignorant, or apathetic.
The "we" you (and I used to) talk about are too few and often divided amongst ourselves anyway.
Sorry mate, but that's the reality unfortunately.
