Both monopolist parties are uniformly bad on this, so the only option is to not vote or vote for a party that actually cares. I don't play "lesser or two evils" or buy into the nonsense that "a vote for the X party is a vote for Democrats/Republicans". I simply refuse to reward bad behavior.

That's what I did in the last election. I voted third party where there was the option and left all others blank except for our State Agriculture Commissioner race (I felt the incumbent has been doing his job well). Unfortunately too many voters fall for the false arguments that a third party vote is a wasted vote or will give the worst choice the win. The duopoly has done a great job of convincing people of this and they tend to ramp up that rhetoric when there is a third party candidate who could potentially be a threat to their system. They'll do anything to stay in power.
