We could go down this rabbit hole all the way to Schulze, but IMHO it’s more important to unify behind anything clone-independent just to get out from under this duopoly.
That only works if truly nobody is “backed” by a larger organization. Taking away party affiliation just makes it harder to identify where a candidates loyalties lie.
The solution is to have no parties. Everyone just runs for office on their own
The first past the post system will still spoil the vote with more than two candidates. The solution is ranked choice voting.
Ranked choice is a step in the right direction, but Approval Voting is better and more intuitive, imo.

Well, yes. Ranked choice and no parties. ;)

No candidate should have loyalties to any group other than the American citizens.
