Keep in mind that the two party system is a symptom of the fundamental problem with how the US votes, with the winner take all balloting, without ranked choice of any sort.

People naturally organize into parties as they organize themselves to avoid wasted votes, with two parties being the most effective way to do that. It's basically a simulated ranked choice, even if it's not a perfect or very good replacement.

Point is, people calling for a third party are overlooking the problem two parties solve.

The better approach is to shift the two parties in better directions.

Or (and) push for ranked choice voting, but that's a heavier lift.
