CMV: If people voted for who they actually wanted to instead of following others, then we'd probably have had much less of a two-party system.

In the last couple times that I've been able to vote, pretty much everyone I know has voted either republican or democrat. Many vote for who they traditionally feel their family goes for, others seem to be very socially influenced by those around them, and a good amount for a republican or democratic candidate because they don't think that the candidate in a party outside of those two would win.

**I'm not so knowledgeable in the political realm, so take it easy lol.** Overall though, I seem to be pretty politically neutral. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel if everyone actually voted for who they wanted we'd have a president or other elected officials who represent the American people a bit better.

The two-party system is a consequence of our electoral system. First Past the Post naturally leads to a two-party system. If you want to have multiple parties, you have to change how we conduct elections. 

People vote for who they prefer (generally) in primaries. People vote for who they dislike less in the general election.
