I think this is actually understood fairly well which is why rhetoric like “both sides are the same” comes about because neither option moves things the other direction. FPTP two party system sucks.
The two party system is an inevitable result of a first past the post electoral system. Ranked choice/preference voting gives us a way out of this trap. https://truethevote.org
I'd like to believe it's fairly well understood, but tell it to the average liberal and you'll get a lecture on Horseshoe Theory.
