Why the two party system sucks

Our system is set up to make people wonder why they put their time and money behind a candidate, when their choice isn't the one who gets the nomination. The two party system is set up to be partisan.

I feel lucky since I don't like any of the candidates and don't vote, I can just sit back and watch.

But I do understand how biter people are over what is going on in the Democratic party right now. Why would we expect people to switch who they support just because they are affiliated with a party?

Why can't we have multiple candidates from all parties be on the ballot? Then we can destroy the electoral college and make it a popular vote.

Why do we have a hundred choices when it comes to buying a pair of jeans or most any other product but truly only two choices when it comes to such a seemingly important job?

Oh yeah it comes down to money. You need to be rich or have the backing of a lot of rich companies to become president.

Our system is so broken.
