The US seriously needs a third party.

Without a run-off the system would be awful and allow some really terrible presidents.

Then I have an idea...

Either you have a run-off for your Presidential election if someone gets below 50% OR you have Preferrential Voting, which works really well here. This means that people can vote for their first party of choice, and if they don't win their votes will go to their second preferred candidate.

Or swap your president for a puppet-monarch and get parliament back in control

Though I would support any and all measures that would prevent me from seeing things like that idiot crowd again - imperialist US, fascist US, communist US, despot US, nazi US - all will be better than seeing that.
