In the US there are 2 political parties
In Denmark theres many more. The current government is 3 parties, and theres a total of 13 iirc, currently elected parties.
You can (most likely) find a political party to represent you.
There's more than two.
Where are the other ones during debates then?
Running for local offices. Politics isn't just the Presidential election.
Effectively it is. The 2 party system is baked into every facet of American politics
