How do other countries have multiple parties and how can the US do the same?

I wish to understand how and why the US is stuck with a two party system while many other countries are able to sustain multiple parties. I do understand that there are a multitude of systems from Parliamentary to semi-presidential and dofferent voting systems. I also understand that, in Germany for example, their Parliment is split between voting for a person and a party. But what i dont seem to understand is why this would not lead to same "dont split the vote" mentality we have within America.

Second to this, are there policies that we can implement to achieve the same results here?

Thank you for your patience

My very general political journey

2012: Start if high-school, no real basis out side of family values, Christianity, etc

2016: extremely centrist "both sides have valid points!" Phase but generally sided progressive on most social policies while backing the cops. Going into college

2020: No major reading, mostly focused on existentialism, spirituality, working a fuck ton.

2024: Gradual radicalization

2026: Read a lot of theory from Adam Smith to Marx, Lenin to Bernstein. Have fallen upon Democratic Syndicalism. Would love a Tricameral Directoral Representative Federal Democracy if possible.

Leftist in every way generally, BIG Labor Unionist. Will never believe in Anarchy but ive come to understand the virtues of a decentralized Federal model over a centralized Federal model.

Scooter recommendation for commuter

Bought my first one a few weeks ago to save on gas and ive been enjoying It! Only issue is that its a little small and cant get me up hills (will legitimately stall it has no torque)

​

I dont need anything facy, something that can get me to and from work and on the train.

​

I am 185lbs give or take 5. 210lbs with everything I carry

​

Doesn't have to be super fast. 20mph is plenty fast enough. If it can be ridden in rain thats be a plus.
