America deserves two votes

-As voters we feel disenfranchised. The two party system is restricting us from voting for who we really believe in. Voting our hearts would be a "wasted vote." Instead we're forced to vote for "the lesser evil." We believe that if every U.S citizen was given two votes they wouldn’t feel as pressured to vote for the “lesser evil.” In stead they would vote for one of the two main parties, and then with their second vote they would vote for a third party with which they truly believe. Having only one vote deters people from voting there true feeling. The media inundates us by saying that if we don’t vote for either a Democrat or a Republican then we have “wasted our vote.” No one wants to have a “wasted vote.” Wasting a vote would be “un-American.” With two votes there will be no wasted votes. It won't happen all at once, but in time, the media will start to give more attention to third parties, on account they are getting more votes. In time the third parties will become more main stream. Having two votes will create change in the debacle we call the American political system.
