This is just what you get when saddled with a government organization from the 1700s. After WWII most of Europe reorganized national government into proportional representation. With all parties running nationwide, and receiving a number of seats proportional to the percentage of the popular vote received. In the US, we're still stuck in 1776. And as the article mentions, this leads to a 2 party system where the overwhelming majority of voters don't find representation for their own political position. With neither entrenched party being willing to undermine their own position of power, there is very little likelihood of reforming this antiquarian system in the US. One of the only examples, after the major re-org of Europe after WWII, is New Zealand. Which reorganized into a proportional representation in 1996: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_reform_in_New_Zealand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_reform_in_New_Zealan...
