Vote splitting is an electoral effect in which the distribution of votes among multiple similar candidates reduces the chance of winning for any of the similar candidates, and increases the chance of winning for a dissimilar candidate. This is commonly known as the spoiler effect, which can discourage minor party candidacies.
You can’t break the 2 party system that way, that’s why they want you to vote 3rd party. That’s also why they often fund the 3rd party in the first place.
There are plenty of systems that allow more parties to join without creating this effect. Your idea of 3rd party is not wrong, just wait until the policy is there to support it, or else you are just hurting your chances of being as aligned as can be with the person in office.

Beats voting for my opponent directly (which is what 3rd party does in FPTP).
And also people don’t make changing the voting system a priority, too busy arguing about abortions and healthcare. That’s how you make a change if there is going to be one, not by throwing away your vote.
3rd party 2024
Ah yes, the spoiler effect.

Make the dems run a real candidate and I won’t go 3rd party
“Make the dems run a real candidate or I vote for Trump”.
Like that’s going to work. That’s not how The rules for rulers work
This might as well say Trump 2024 because that’s what you’ll get when you toss your vote away going 3rd party.
Eliminating the two party dynamic won’t ever happen from the top down, it’s going to have to happen with local elections and move it’s way up.

Or maybe it just needs to crash and burn already. It be awesome if I could see some change before the world itself burns down.
