It's actually not.
Other parties have existed, and likely will again.
The only way to get rid of first past the post is a progressive party with the overall goal of over hauling our political system.
Republicans and neoliberals will never change it, because the main reason voters vote for either is to stop the only other option.
And shit hasn't exactly been going great, so it's probably a good idea to do that sooner than later
It’s a bit of a catch 22 because if you start voting for the progressive parties, then the shitstains on the other end of the spectrum will take over and make it impossible anyway
By the same logic:
If people stick with the DNC and keep voting for their shitty neoliberals, at best we just keep swapping back and forth.
So the voters who don't switch are even more of a problem.
A party of FDR style Dems would have a lock on national politics and actually accomplish things.
If you can find a way to get us there then by all means
