You didn’t state this explicitly, but it’s a fact that the U.S.’ political system only supports two parties. It’s easy to think U.S. voters can simply choose something else, especially for folks in countries with functional democracies, but in the U.S. voters are hostages. To a system that’s been honed for over two centuries to only support the hegemony of the ‘big 2.’
They get two viable options with this system. No more, and sometimes less.

Not voting is a thing that a plurality of citizens do, but those people aren’t working with the system. And beyond that, it’s revolution, which is also not working with the system. And I hate to say it but things aren’t quite bad enough for enough people for that to happen. Besides the incredible crackdown on people who wield their right to protest (felony trial charges?!?), the control over media and the internet keeps movements fractured and siloed. A felony conviction will more or less ensure your only job prospects for the rest of your life are unskilled jobs like manual labor and politician.
