Our system works on the two parties because of how it was originally designed.
Because of the Electoral College no third party has a chance of winning the presidency.
Because of how the house has a speaker elected by the majority, no third party will ever hold that role.
Ditto for the Senate, it often takes 60 to get something done.
How does one break out of that system when there is no rational way to do so?
