Both major parties are coalitions of a number of diverse and often competing interests.  The only difference between our two-party system and the multi-party systems in other countries is that we form our coalitions before the elections so we know what we're voting for.

The biggest problem with the system is how it's funded.  In the last election, about $5.6 billion was spent.  Most of it came from unions and PACS representing special interest (most of us are a part of at least one special interest group, so that's not necessarily bad).

About 120 million people voted.  If the average voter merely donated $100 to their favorite candidate, the money from "the people" would more than double the money from the special interests.  The problem with the system is that the voters want something for nothing.
