What happens is that people who form political parties have better success winning elections than people who don't.

Wrong. Quite likely. The Dems are as a party at civil war with themselves. No straight agenda,no sense of unification,& no "shining light" as in a credible candidate to save us all from the "doom" of a Trump 2nd Term, just defeat Trump at any cost is the mantra.
The Dems, they should learn from the saying, "a house divided cannot stand" or words to that effect.
Lets see how big the crowd will be on Donald's 2'nd Inaugural speech will be.

The current extremism is the political system responding to people who vote on party lines and the unwillingness of the electorate to "waste a vote" on a third party.

People who always vote the same party, their vote and interests do not matter. The other party will be unable to recruit them, and their own party is already counting their votes in the bag. They are baseline, irrelevant.

Therefore the people who need to be recruited to get enough votes are the independents and the extremes. Independents tend to be highly educated and discerning with their votes, and are a hard vote to win. Extremists are dummies whose votes can be bought by disingenuously pandering to their individual extremes. Since extreme votes are the easier of the two to get, and all votes are equal regardless of the intelligence/education/knowledge of the candidates of the person casting them, he that panders to the most extremes wins the game.

Well yeah but thats the point. I look at slates and political parties as a normal company and a duopoly. One has healthy competition which forces everyone involve you be innovative and the consumer has many more choices. The duopoly offers very little choices and allows for things such as gerrymandering forces and generally have too much influence.

Unfortunately, under the American Constitution the duopoly forms very quickly over time.

A new party either fails (the most common result) or replaces a previous one, like the Republicans replacing the Whigs.

Well, mandating 2 Senators per state pretty much requires FPTP for the Senate.

Is there truly nothing that prevents a state from allocating its entire House slate based on proportional representation rather than districts?

As for president, there's only one, so you can't have a minor party that has influence but not control, like the DUP in Britain.

So I would say the Constitution puts some pretty strong barriers on having 3 parties too.

It doesn’t foreclose the option of ranked choice voting for Senators. Also, before 1913, Senators were not popularly elected.

No, there is nothing that prevents that. I advocate that every time the topic comes up.

Third parties also don’t ever elect the PM in the UK, or even Israel*, so that’s not an issue. And in any event, the President is not popularly elected either.

I disagree. See above.

*Israel is the poster boy for proportional representation.

How does ranked choice voting particularly help to encourage third parties? Your new party still has to replace one of the two existing major parties in a given state in order to win anything. The 3rd and 4th parties in Maine remain minor items.

The DUP in the UK currently wields a phenomenal amount of power, even though it didn't elect the PM. There is no way the 3rd and 4th parties in Maine could wield that kind of power in Maine.

And third parties in Israel have a tremendous effect on who becomes PM, and also on policy.

Because a vote for a third party isn’t thrown away.

It would help in unipartisan areas where the other major party is a non-entity. In the case of your DUP example, the UK also uses FPTP, so that’s a terrible example.

The idea is people make their first choice the 3rd party/Independent. The 2nd choice is the mainstream party. If by some miracle the 3rd party wins, they get the representative they want. If not, their mainstream party of choice still gets their vote.

Currently, 3rd parties split the vote with the next closest ideologically mainstream one, causing the odd scenario where multiple similar candidates (which would happen on the more popular side) will steal votes from each other resulting in the less popular but more united opposite ideology winning. Think of it like Fox News. It's the most watched news network because it's the only conservative network, while there's varying degrees of liberal networks each taking their own slice of the pie.

Thus their biggest use is to register a statistic for "I cared enough to show up and vote, but neither of you mainstream candidates are worth the ink on the ballot paper".

Yes, and it's exactly what happened in the Maine congressional election, and it's good.

But I'm just saying it didn't give the third parties in Maine any real power. The DUP in the UK with its measly 10 MPs have vastly more power in the UK than the independent parties in Maine have relative to Maine.

The most radical choice for the House that is allowed under the Constitution (I'm believing SP's representation that this is allowed) is for each state to apportion its House seats among parties in proportion to the votes for those parties. That would allow the Communist Party to get a seat or two from CA and NY and the Racist Party to get the same from MS and AL. Hey, even the Libertarians would get some seats. I think we know why that isn't going to happen soon.
