The issue isn't that the parties are the same. It is that neither should be in power. And you're all too fucking brainwashed to realize the only way out of this mess without violent revolution is a third party gaining power. And even with, probably.

3rd party can't really gain power with first past the post. We have to implement ranked choice or approval voting before meaningful 3rd party choices are viable.
