the House of Representatives decides

By a majority.

The best way to have a modicum of multi-party pluralism would be to:

1. Eliminate the EC and turn it to popular vote. If no one gets a majority, have a runoff three weeks later.

2. Do the same in congressional and gubernatorial elections. (The State of Georgia already does)

This would allow someone to vote their true preference in the first round and then vote "the lesser of two evils" in a runoff if third parties denied a 50% to the first-place finisher.
With the "wasted vote" scenario eliminated, you'd have many cases where a third party would finish at least second in many elections and then possibly win in a runoff.

This method has served France well.

You can also go with proportional representation but that would risk ungovernibility.
