CMV: The only way for the "Two-party system" (aka First Past the Post) to be abolished is for Americans to agree to stop

Americans often complain about how we have a "two-party" system.
62% of Americans say the two major parties are doing a "poor job" and that a third party is needed. \[[1](https://news.gallup.com/poll/696521/americans-need-third-party-offer-soft-support.aspx)\]
However, 65% of Americans voted in the 2024 election, and 98.5% voted Democrat or Republican. \[[2](https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025/2024-presidential-election-voting-registration-tables.html)\]
You see the problem. What we say and how we behave are in major disalignment.
I say, if we truly want to end the two-party system, we simply need to organize a national campaign to stop voting en masse and force the system to change. Put our money where our mouth is.
What people actually mean when they say we have a "two-party" system is that we have a First-Past-the-Post voting system.
One of the most important political videos I've ever watched is [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo) by CGP Grey explaining why we have a "two party" system (which is actually a First Past the Post system). If you haven't seen it, I cannot recommend it strongly enough.
One of the major points explored in the vide

Being a "potential" person is something I'm sick of. In order to truly improve my life, I'm entering 66 days of Monk Mod

I've had enough of living at 20% of my capacity. I know I talk about starting a business and making money, but my lifestyle reflects something different. Every day, I’m wasting my energy on cheap dopamine and distractions.
I'm embarking on a 66-day “Transmutation” sprint, which begins as of tomorrow. All my biological energies will be funneled into my business, as posited in Napoleon Hill's philosophy. Nothing is wasted, no justifications are given.
This phenomenon is referred to as “hustle culture.” But I fear turning forty with merely “potential.” I have to fix a complex tech problem and design a functional solution. In order to make this a reality, I am publishing this. Day 1 has finally started. I reboot when I fail. I am taking back my life.
