The two-party system is basically tyranny by gang, in my opinion.

I think that with computers available to process votes, voters should be able to vote for as many candidates as they want for any position, and many people should be able to run.

That way, if the two big-party candidates are Hitler and Stalin, and the independents include someone likeable but no one thinks an independent can win, voters can vote for their big-party "lesser of two evils" as well as the likable independents, so the likable independents could win if they are in fact more liked than the two party evils, without people having to give up their choice of lesser big-party evil.

Of course, the two big parties are currently kept in power by this system, are perhaps in the pocket of megacorporate media, and the two party system is conventionally unquestioned. So, it may be a long road to reform.

There are however already some organizations trying to promote electoral reform more or less as I suggested.
