You’re aiming at the wrong place. Government is made at lower levels. The place we need to break the duopoly first is the state legislatures. Get a 3rd and even 4th voice there and you can end gerrymandering. End that and you can get these other voices in Congress. Then you’ll make ALL the parties actually stand for something other than power. And the presidency can actually matter.
