My view has as much weight as yours

This is literally what conspiracy theorists and nut jobs say as well. You are entitled to have your own opinion and to say what you want, but that doesn't make it equal. What is different between the current system and your view is that the current system has actually been in place and working for more than a hundred years. Until you can come up with a way to get from the inception of your idea to a completed system then your view has no weight. You want to wail against the system, but you want other people to figure out how to make your view work. As I said in my initial comment to you, that's just idealism.

What exactly gives your idea weight? What is your idea to change from the current system to a better one again? I'm sure you have a proven model for this right? Or do you know just as little as I do about how to reform the two party system into something better?
