Maybe it would result in people actually taking the time/effort to find out what each candidate actually stands for rather than just assuming if someone has a D or R that they hold exactly the same values as every D and R.

That just would never work. You would still have the two political powerhouses, with all the power and influence and money and donors and respective compliant media houses. You'd end up with two candidates in a proxy war.

More parties would be fine, and a system where your vote actually counts for the party you are voting for. But that is unthinkable. For one, as much as the two parties despise each other, they are still united in never changing this system. It guarantees both of them all these things mentioned above.

Yeah well, that still would amount to Trump being above the law.
