How about we all start voting third party until we can establish at least 3 major parties. 5 would probably be better. It would force them to work together to accomplish things.
You don’t get 3 or more major parties in a fptp system though. The system itself is only capable of supporting two parties at most.
The voting system needs to first be changed on a state level in every state ideally, or at least most of them, so people need to start putting a lot more effort into state elections.
if the fptp voting system dictates that the two most similar parties should merge to fight the third least similar party. In that case we should start an actual leftist party so the two parties on the right can merge and absorb eachother.
