    If they just used a better election format, that could have fixed so much. I don’t think they envisioned such a large population. More than two parties can work at small scale but fails at large scale. And getting that changed is such a task I’m not even sure how it could happen right now.

      I think it’s actually easier than it may seem. Iirc states get to pick what election system they use to send representatives to Congress. If a single larger state switches to PR and a third party wins a few seats, they could instantly become a kingmaker if the house is divided.
