It would be nice I suppose, but the two party system has come as close as possible to seeing that there will only be two candidates. If your choice is binary its not likely that one will be entirely pleased with their pick.

Short of billionaire politicians willing to drop a big chunk of their personal wealth on it, you got the "R" or the "D".
