Usually this is where I would make a long winded comment on replacing First-past-the-post voting with a voting system that allows more then two parties to exist without a spoiler effect… but that time has long since passed us by.
Germany and New Zealand both have a Mixed Member Proportional voting system but centre right coalition governments with a strong far-right influence currently hold the majority in both those countries. Things would undoubtedly be worse with FPTP, but proportional voting is not a magic bullet either.
There are other parties than red and blue, instead of talking and giving exposure to the lesser evil candidates start talking about the actual good alternatives.
What do you propose?

Nothing is stopping either party from implementing that, if they care to do so. So I guess some pressure to do so would be nice.
So you’ve got nothing, got it.

Right but how many years of greater evil parties are you willing to endure while you establish this non-evil party?
you establish other parties and candidates by talking about them and giving them exposure
