The country won’t move forward until it has 2 serious political parties.
I agree. But I disagree about which party is at fault. It's the Republicans, about 75% (Dems have to take some blame).
The key to democracy is negotiation (in good faith) and compromise. Since at least Newt, the Reps have not wanted to do that. They want to cram their agenda down the throats of the People. Boehner learned that when he tried to do an old-style compromise, and was basically forced out by his own party. They are, therefore, not a serious party. They are the party of authoritarians, not pro-democracy.
As for racists, the Reps are the kings. Not all Reps are racist, but most racists are Reps. We've seen that time and again, from the Southern Strategy to the overt support by racists groups of Reps since 2016.
