I'm maybe wrong, but every elections look like democrats vs republicans like there is only 2 parties in USA, there is not an other party strong enough that can bring you something different than this ?

Unfortunately, no. We have other parties ... Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian, Green, Tea, Progressive, etc. ... but they are only ever strong enough to steal votes from similarly minded Republican or Democratic candidates.

Also, from my point of view it looks like both parties are almost the same, are peoples satisfied by them or no ?

The sheep are. I think here the answer would be no.

Voting often doesn't seem to matter as the winner of the popular vote isn't the winner because of the electoral college. Also the politicians don't seem to care about the people they are supposed to represent. Even if a newly elected politician has the most wholesome of plans to do good by his constituency, once he/she gets to the DC shark tank, that goes out the window because that's not how things get done.

A big problem is the lifetime politicians, senators with 30 year terms or whatever. All those old cronies are busy passing laws to protect their own interests. The whole system is corrupt and it really doesn't matter which side is in office. They have the American citizens at war with each other, arguing about Trump when what we really should be doing is come together as a nation, quit fighting with each other and tell Washington ENOUGH!

They are supposed to work for us after all.

it's time to play the game: Which old capitol hill geezer will get elected to office!

Choices are
Larry David look-a-like and guy who probably schedules 8 am doctor checkups Bernie Sanders
Former Harvard Professor and a big hater of all things wine caves and fundraisers (expect ones for herself) Elizabeth Warren
and guy who probably goes to Sunday Mass Joe Biden

At the end of the day, I don't want you guys to blame me for how this turns out.

As he did in 2016, Harambe has my vote.
