Please, as if any other party - well the one other party since USA has two parties and that's it, at least when it comes to voting - has done anything.

Stop with excuses. The same two parties are winning because people decided to vote for them. While in many other countries newly formed parties was able to win in the first attempt.

Other countries have representational voting. America doesn't have a system that will allow any other parties, especially on first attempt. If America has ranked-choice voting, it too would have parties out the wazoo

Which countries have ranked choice electoral systems? My home country doesn’t and it has at least 4 or 5 major parties, a lot of medium ones and many smaller ones.

The US political system is not other countries. How come people on this site are all about understanding systems except when that system stands in their way? How come so many people are experts on US politics and the political landscape therein without having studied it literally ever in their life? It's honestly getting to be infuriating how little yall know and how far you think that knowledge seems to extend.
