I'm not so sure about that. As an outside observer, it seems pretty obvious to me that the lack of a left vote in the US is because they do not have a notable left wing party. The best way to win someone's vote is to represent them. If nobody represents someone nobody will get that vote.
Obviously to actually fix that you'll need election reform, this is pretty much the expected outcome of a single vote FPTP winner-take-all system.
