Multiple parties cannot work in the US because of winner-take-all district/state voting and single-round presidential elections.

In fact, even the two-party system never worked in the US. Because of the above reasons, and real-time poll analysis, the two parties eventually converge to essentially the same platform, just a hair breadth apart; so that elections are decided by fractions of 1%. This is a well-known result from mathematical election theory.
