What would need to change for US citizens to have more than two choices at election.

Question

I know we technically have more than two choices, but what would need to change for it to simply be 1) person A, 2) person B, or 3) throwaway vote.

And maybe there are multiple avenues?

Answer 1

The US has always had more than 2 choices for president. However, it is impractical and illogical because both parties are big tent parties. Back in the day there’d be like 5 different candidates that would get significant percentages and the one with the highest won. Take Lincoln for example, he only won around 40% of the vote.
