Would it not be better if the other parties like the Independent, Green, Libertarians, etc were even strength as the dems and GOP?

How come more people are not embracing the Green Party, Peace and Freedom, Independent Party, etc.? If enough people got smart and dumped the bozos in the top two parties now maybe true government progress could be made because all parties would have to work together. On my ballot I thought I was going to have just two choices; terrible and lousy, only to discover the other parties had candidates two. I know they had not a ice cubes chance in hell of winning but any name I didn’t know I voted for 90% of the time. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a five party system where each of the five were near equally matched?
