One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

Watching your house burn down from the inside might make some hot popcorn.
the problem is Democrats aren’t willing to play the long game on democracy. If there is space for a third party its at the state level and its pushing reforms like proportional voting and constitutional amendments as part of a vision to make the US walk the walk on democracy - to end the shallow lip service talk on democracy.
Nobody has tried the convention method yet for constitutional amendments and it would probably be easy to push something like “states may not gerrymander, and the number of representatives assigned to state and federal legislatures must be proportional to the overall vote for each party.”
