The US system isn't too bad, the main problem with it is capitalism. Under capitalism, you can't have a true democracy. The rich can always influence the public (Manufacturing Consent) or outright buy representatives. You have to keep wealth more distributed to avoid this, which means we need a system that doesn't so heavily reward and enable accumulation of wealth. I like many of the ideas of Mutualism [0]. Primarily the emphasis on credit unions, the limits on private property, and worker democracy.
