Unfortunately, there's often no one I'm interested in voting for on the ballot. How do I vote then? Should I vote at all? I don't think I'm an outlier as more and more people aligned with both parties feel disenfranchised, but you don't stand a chance at having a reasonable candidate for most races with the amount of money required to mount a campaign. If you can't get media attention, you're out!

It does have the problem that running 10 similar candidates makes their viewpoint more likely to win, if I recall correctly, so a party-based system might still be useful in that case.
