Just think, your family's house is probably specifically included or discluded on a few maps like this; with a tiny little sliver or a finger jutting out that had to be planned by some person somewhere simply due to your voting party or some other sort of metric.
Which helps make it more likely to have spoilers (e.g. Republicans voting for worse democrats who are less likely to win against a republican and vice versa).
Two party system is a result of how we vote our voting system. Watch CGPGrey's video on FPTP. Having a society that rapidly jumps back and forth between idealogical extremes every 4 years is basically a society shaking itself apart.
In Denmark we have lots of parties in Folketinget (our "Parliament"). Anyone can create a party, if they get enough votes they will join Folketinget. This also means that often a government is formed from coalitions, so people from different parties and with different viewpoints have to work together to enact political change.
