That’s not how it works. As long as FPTP exists, it will lock us into two parties. We have had multiple party systems that all demonstrated this principle. Some places are experimenting with alternatives on the state and local level, but it will take time.
You’ve already got one response to this which is correct. I want to add to it to help explain how FPTP voting systems result in a 2 party system and simply voting for another party does not solve the issue.
But first you’re either aware of the problem and want to encourage people to vote third party while pretending not to know how the system works or you’re actually just ignorant to the issue.
I don’t normally like video links in discussions like this but this one is especially good and is only 6.5 mins.

Is that a 3rd option in a first past the post system?
Hmmmm… what could be the issue there I wonder.
The people are the issue not the system
There is absolutely an issue with first past the post voting systems. And frankly I think you know what the problems are.
That people are so desperate to keep it in place.
FTFP is never going go away if you keep voting for it lol.
How surprising. A comment meant to discourage voting.
Vote for something different than the ftfp parties.

false dichotomy
this isn’t an immutable natural law.
Your video does not explain how voting Democrat is going to fix the FTFP system.
People that don’t understand politics have a better understanding than people that have been frog-boiled into voting for a Genocidal Geriatric.
The presidential vote isn’t where we fix the voting system. We have to work in the system we have. It’s just reality.
My assessment of you hasn’t changed - you’re either completely ignorant or want Biden voters to change to third party to help Trump.
Every interaction with you has a similar quality. I’m never sure if you’re just this stupid or if you know exactly what you’re doing.
