There has been a two party system since 1796 in this country, with the brief exception of the “Era of Good Feelings” under Monroe, during which the Democratic-Republican Party was effectively the only national party. But that quickly split up and not long after came back to two parties again.
The way our government is set up practically makes a two party system inevitable. We’d have to change how we conduct elections (i.e. Get rid of First Past the Post, adopt Multi-Winner RCV system or something, etc.) and/or adopt a parliamentary system for this to change. I don’t see this happening, at least not any time soon.
