All academic since it would never actually happen, but it seems like 3rd parties enjoy more success under parliamentary systems, and super unpopular governments can be tossed out more easily. Would things be any better?

    I don’t think America can be saved through any electoral process. A parliamentary system would immediately result in the third parties being Libertarian, Tea Party/Freedom cacus, and openly neo-nazis. The existing Democratic party wouldn’t allow itself to fracture and would engage in voter suppression against leftwing parties. The GOP is already fractured as much as it can be. The newly formed parties would be made up of reactionaries who currently don’t vote for one reason or another.

    People vastly underestimate how conservative Americans are.
