Maybe sometime, but I don't want Trump to be president, so I don't think I'll be doing that next year.
For the billionth time, that's why we need to get rid of first past the post voting. Its been mathematically proven that FPTP always devolves to two primary parties as it's the most stable configuration. Literally any proportional voting system is better. The front runner is usually ranked choice, but there are a lot of options that all have advantages and disadvantage, so we need to just pick one and use it. We can always use a different one down the line, but the sooner FPTP dies the sooner we can start to develop a healthy selection of political parties.
ok, but materially, how do we get there?
