The US badly need more than two political parties.

Political parties in the US aren't very strong; instead of having more names of parties, we just replace the insides of the current ones in primary elections. It's not like the UK where you actually have to do what they tell you or can literally get fired.
Replacing FPTP with RCV would elect more centrists, but without proportional representation there'd still be two parties I think.

Yes agree with the current voting system it will not make too much difference. Need proportional representation.
I think the problem is not that the parties are too strong, but that are too weak to strong interest groups.
Which is also not much of a home, since it generally is inhabited by non-serious people- but at this point at least I can morally live with a platform of you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours. The other options have too many compromises right now.
