I mean, if no one votes for third party candidates of course they wont win. From my perspective with 8 parties in the "congress" of my country, it's a bit odd that there're only 2 "real" choices.

Realistically, the party system in America needs to change. Both the Republican and the Democratic parties are being split by ideological differences. (The Democrats are just more of a glaring train wreck to watch at the moment.) Very few are happy with the arrangement.

To me it looks like the parties are treated more like teams in football than political parties. That people tie their identities to them and refuse to aknowledge that the other side even has a tiny bit of truth in them. Also hypocrisy. I totally support the black people's struggle for police reform and the issues like that, but the Democrats went from "everyone should stay inside at all times!!!" to "go out an protest!!!". ??? That to me looks weird.

Not necessarily odd. Fewer teams is how stronger coalitions get built.
