You're correct that third parties are impossible under the current system of elections, but proportional representation (even if you could persuade House members to support a change that makes it less likely for them to get reelected) wouldn't have any effect on the Senate.

You're correct that third parties are impossible under the current system of elections, but proportional representation (even if you could persuade House members to support a change that makes it less likely for them to get reelected) wouldn't have any effect on the Senate. The whole system needs a reworking to give power to the marginalized millions.
The solution isn't a third party, but a union of swing voters. Swing voters are the ones who are going to decide the outcome of November's election. By organizing as a national voting bloc across all 470 Federal races, we can collectively bargain for a better social contract.
What "swing voters" want to rework the system and "give power to the marginalized millions"? The typical Trump-Biden voter is comfortably middle class and ideologically conservative. They don't want a better social contract when the current one serves them best.
Voters across the spectrum want to rework the system. However, when you're committed to one party or the other, you have very little leverage. Look at the polls - swing voters have power., because >90% of "typical" voters on the national level cancel each other out.. A 2% bloc of true swing voters can control the balance of power in Washington. That's leverage.

It's true that swing voters have a lot of leverage. They use this leverage in support of the status quo.
Why are you so resistant to the idea that a union of swing voters can gain leverage over our political system? Do you want to maintain the status quo?
