If both of the major parties are against something, you can only vote for some independent third party, which in the foreseeable future will never even have a single seat in Congress (not to mention a ruling majority). In countries without winner-takes-all electoral system (everybody except UK and USA) it's much easier for smaller countries to gain ground and hence they have a wider selection of viable parties, but in the UK and USA people are pretty much screwed.
