I really thought in 2016 Bernie would splinter the democrats and we’d have a true left party. I also thought trump would create a new party on the right and the republicans would go back to being republicans. Can you imagine a 4 party system!
To my surprise, the trump dragged the republicans even further to the right, and the democrats moved even more center-right to appease ex-republicans. So the whole nation just moved right, which is sad.

FPTP tends towards a two-party system. CGP Grey made a video about it.
it's been moving to the right my whole lifetime. i'm 64. we're not right at the fascist line, with our right wing party actually over the line, and no far left at all.
Wouldn't last.. you'd end up like Australia where they just form coalitions and it's the same result as if they never split
The Republicans recently had a split with the Tea Party, that's where we got Ted Cruz from. Then they lost the election to Obama and came back to republicans
