Without voting reform there can only be two parties.
The only mention of a party named 'reform' I have previously heard of is in the uk, where reform is a far right party, the uk have multiple other parties, just as every real democracy does.
The reform party in the USA apparently doesn't even have ballot access. You have political parties that cannot be voted for? wtaf
There are other options, but the USA is the least democratic 'democracy' that has ever existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_United_States
I mean the voting system needs to be reformed. There is no reform party, and cannot be because the voting system allows for only two parties. If Tucker Carlson or whoever manages to create a different far right party that steals more than 5% but less than 95% of the vote from the current far right party, that's bad for far right voters because the less right party will always come out ahead in major elections.
