Since the two party system in nowhere in any of our laws, how would you do that? The last time, a third party rose to any real power, was just before the Civil War, when the Republicans arose from abolitionist minded Whigs and Democrats. With the Republican party being coopted by Trump, and the Democratic party becoming coopted by the 'progressive' minority, we need a new, moderate party for sane people, who believe in the common good and constitutional freedoms. A recent poll showed 62% of Americans believe we need a new party, because current parties do not represent the interests of a majority of people. There recently was a zoom meeting of 120 Republicans, thinking of forming their own conservative, anti-trump party. But, the most popular attempt to do so, under Ross Perot, only got 19% of the popular vote. So, even if the Electoral College was undone, it would be hard for a third party to succeed, no matter how badly it is needed.
