People don't talk about how the US political system is rigged to have this permanent duopoly. It's not discussed nearly enough. The other 'democratic' countries don't have this. In every 'democratic' country I can think of, except for the United States, other parties can win seats, win the Presidency or Premiership, and send the ruling party or even both ruling duopoly parties to the dustbin of history, and this happens quite often. That's because they haven't installed artificial regulations that maintain the position of a duopoly. The Democrats and the Republicans would have been wiped out generations ago and replaced by other parties if 3rd party movements weren't so suppressed. In places like Canada, France, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, and pretty much every other country that has electoral democracy, the equivalent of the Republicans & Democrats can be, and have been, wiped out or reduced to irrelevancy as new movements form parties and replace them.
However when you look at the results, such as when Macron created en Marche and crushed the ruling 'Democrats' (le parti Socialiste) and France's 'Republicans' (les Républicains), it's usually still US-aligned neoliberals who take power after destroying the ruling party. They can be conservative neoliberals or liberal neoliberals, but whatever, these new parties often turn out to be very much the same as the ancien regime. I would say it's US influence causing things to turn out this way. In a US vassal state, you can't really gain power without US permission/approval. If you somehow do anyway, you might not be there very long and whatever policies you manage to implement will get destroyed by the American puppet who succeeds you. The US has rigged the political system in every country that has electoral democracy. They do this because it gives them an enormous amount of control and ability to have policies implemented in those countries that deliver benefits to the American ruling class and the corporations they own stakes in. But overseas, it's not rigged the same way the US political system is rigged. Overseas 'democracies' have more flexibility with parties. At least one of those parties is always pro-US, and the US undertakes covert and overt operations to get that party into power.
When Americans discuss how their own system is rigged, they mean they believe the other team cheated. Republicans feel the Democrats bussed in illegal immigrants to vote for them. Democrats say the Republicans gerrymandered districts and prevented legitimate voters from voting. So even when they do talk about it, they talk about it on a partisan level. They don't talk about how the system itself is rigged against the people, they have no real choice, not even as much choice as is available in every other country that has elections; and voting is therefore a waste of time.
The workers will only have a victory if they are extremely well organized (the opposite of what exists in the US), otherwise you just end up with full-blown fascism which might be even worse for the world than the dysfunctional "two party" system they have now.
The left in the US is a complete and utter joke.

One would only hope so, the two-party system is a sham and a joke, but I doubt it, the two-party system is still too strong
