Default Re: OT 2 party political system

I have a number of complaints about the two-party system, but the biggest has to do with the way committee chairmanships are granted in the Senate and House of Representatives. The party that has the majority gets the chairmanships, thus getting even more power. If I vote for an Arizona Democrat because I like their politics (yes, it has happened), and that person's election swings the majority in the House or Senate, that contributes to the power of some people whom I REALLY don't like politically. This almost forces me to vote Republican for my national representatives, no matter what I think of the individual. If chairmanships were granted in proportion to the number of representatives from each party, it would be much easier to cross party lines. It would also let smaller parties with one or two members have a crack at chairmanships. I'm not sure what the best way to distribute the chairmanships would be, but there must be a better way than all to the majority.
