Theoretically yes, but I think it's difficult to achieve in practice. We probably don't need massive systemic changes. These are the changes I think would massively improve the US:
1. Campaign finance reform. Money != free speech. Citizens United is a disaster.
2. Ranked voting in federal elections. A two-party system isn't that great.
3. Get rid of the Electoral college & make Gerrymandering illegal.
4. Shut the revolving door. I'm not sure about the best way to solve it so this is one proposal. Make appointed government officials sign a non-compete for the industry they work in. You shouldn't be able to go from Verizon Exec to FCC Chairman to Verizon Exec.
5. Increase regulation for large companies. Reduce it for small companies. Facebook/Google should have similar regulatory standards compared traditional media companies.
