So, that's worked out so well for us that there's no reason at all to try and change it? "Everyone's doing it" is a sufficient rationalization for you to continue a destructive behavior?
Until a third party can legitimately prove to be a contender for the White House, the two party system is the only game in town. And the simple fact is, if the third party were either liberal or conservative, it would only serve to split the vote with the like minded party, allowing the opposing party to skate into victory.

You could do with a genuinely left wing party (like, say, the Lid Dems from the UK), rather than a centre-right party like the Democrats who just seem liberal compared to the Republicans.
Am I right in saying the Libertarians are the third biggest party? They always struck me as too close to the Republicans, particularly when they try and claim Ron Paul as their own after he fails to get the GOP nomination.
