Because who you can vote for is controlled by wealthy people and corporations that lobby the dominant parties, because the only way to amass that much support to run a campaign is through the Democrats or Republicans. You can't vote for who you want, you must always pick the lesser of two evils.

America has never really had proper democracy at the federal level if you can't vote third party, realistically.
