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.
