The change you want to see won’t happen from the top because of the electoral system. It needs to happen from the ground up. It’s in the local elections and primaries where you need to push for “radical” candidates. That’s also how the US can get rid of the FPTP system.

Pushing for a third party once every four years won’t do shit and will only help the candidate who will actually lose the popular vote win the race.
