I’ve heard it said 1000 times that the US is 2 party political system, but I just don’t understand what mechanisms push it to be that way? Why are 3rd parties so weak or unlikely?

Good propaganda. Most Americans are convinced that if they don’t vote for a winning candidate, somehow their vote is lost. Which is ridiculous and wrong. All votes influence policy, often the ones going to some small single issue party most of all. Politicians don’t make decisions based on votes they already have in the bag, votes they could get or could lose are what drive the decisions.
