Maybe we could move toward more than two viable parties if people actually started voting for other parties.

Gross incompetence tends to expose people too. That's kind of my point. Voters care far more about Trump not taking this pandemic seriously than they do about Biden's gaffes, as they should because one of those things has killed people while the other hasn't. The Trump campaign should spend less time saying that Biden "lost the Black vote" (which is itself an ironic response to your opponent implying a monolith) and more time trying to show us why a guy who golfed 11 times last month is actually trying to handle this historic disaster. 

With regards to voting third party, that's unlikely to happen with the electoral college.
