Watch the video - 

I'm hoping for a similar type of government without a two party system.

Which one? There was no video posted when you made the comment that a third party would fix the problem of both parties being the same.

 

Why do you think that?

No, but the point was clarified with the video.

I think that because it puts too many people in just two single boxes.

That is wrong.

How does it clarify the point that both parties are the same?

How does it clarify the point that a third party will be different?

Why does splitting people into only two boxes increase the chance that the boxes are identical?

 

Why do you think that is the case?

One way around the first-past-the-post voting that’s formalized and tested is ranked voting, (one form of which is instant runoff voting). Cambridge, MA has been using it for almost 70 years; a number of cities around the country do, and Maine does now, too. It can impact results — in a recent House election, the Republican candidate got more votes than the Democrat, but far more second-choice votes of the people who voted for third-party candidates were for the Democrat, so he won after the two third-party candidates were eliminated ( first the lowest one, that still didn’t result in an actual majority, so they re-allocated the other third-party candidate’s second-choice votes as the voters indicated). 
Obviously a lot of people who voted for Poliquin, the Republican, are unhappy. But the voters for the third party candidates did get to have a say. 
I can see the down side — it means that if you vote for a third party candidate you effectively get two chances at a vote. However, as a way to possibly increase the strength of third parties, it’s kind of nice.

Actually, First-past-the-post is a subset of ranked voting. It's the special case where you only count the first choice of every voter.

Not many people are aware how complex voting really is though. For ranked voting, the way you count the votes actually decides who wins!

Imagine an election where candidates complain and say "if we counted it another way, I would win!" However, it's mathematically sound. You can see it explained below:

Similar - since there is no such person . . . 

 

I commend you on the PA of comparing me to the devil, though, but, to be honest, you have done much better in the past.  

Still . . .  it was pretty good.

Your similarity to Satan is that you are non-existent?

Where have all the pro Trump gone? Last poll 4 years ago Hillary and Trump it was 51% or so in favor Trump? Cant find it now, but would be nice to see that poll again if someone find it. 

Even on SC they are fewer and more forgotten each day. Soon only crickets will exist where they once stood.

There are more people that find Clinton unacceptable than they do Biden.   Much of the reason she is considered unacceptable is based on lies about her.  I expect some good lies about Biden shortly.

Jesus christ they are humans as everyone else, and have done mistakes, have egos, and have priorities. However, about Trump, it is not speculations, it is no lies, or at least of it is the truth about him, and he still get elected. Paid off a porn star, and laying about it, say he can shoot somebody on the street, and his woters would still vote for him, greedy on behalf on you? Or was it him, his family and "friends" first of all? Make Me great again? OMFG, I really do not undertand how it is possible,,,,, goes far above my head. 

But he also managed to piss off every single one of USA allies, and make a couple of old eniemies friends.

He hasn’t made any enemies into friends. The enemies are still enemies, they just know they can get concessions out of him easily if they say nice things about him.

 

We all know the american "I love you and hello my friend how are you" by now ;-) 

So ;-)
