How about a supreme court challenge to the mutual exclusivity of political parties? Why can't I be both a democrat and a republican? Once you strip out the collected factions and go to the pure ideas behind each party, they are actually compatible. The problem I see is without a constitutional amendment level changes, more than two parties (or no parties at all) just ends in congress picking the president or odd balls getting elected because their ideology is behind a single candidate and the other ideologies, though more popular, are divided between many. This way there are still two major parties but a candidate must get support from the lesser parties to succeed. Say I'm republican and green. Then during the primary I might vote for the republican that was recommended by the green party over other republican primary challengers. In other words, take those extreme single issue factions and roll them in to separate third parties that are not strong enough to field candidates themselves but strong enough to influence elections.
