I absolutely agree that this entrenched two-party system is a clear issue that needs to be resolved if the US is to become a real functioning democracy. But also woe to noting that there are other parties in the race also; they just don’t have popular support.

Two parties is the mathematical equilibrium of every first-past-the-post system.

Only way to have more parties is to adopt something like a proportional parliamentary system. Which will never happen because you'd have to change the constitution.
