First past the post favors 2 parties. You can vote for other parties but you'll just end up with the side you disagree with more winning.

Right. Not without truly shifting a substantial amount of people. Maybe there's a way to start shifting the republican base and get them to wake up and change how they vote. Maybe there just needs to be a huge education campaign.

There's so much that can be done that is difficult and might ultimately have little to no impact, but if no one does nothing, then nothing happens.

You generally do this in primaries and within the parties. Blue dog democrats, the squad, the tea party.
