I almost wish elections worked like this:
1: Every eligible person for the position gets put into a lottery for the position.
2: Each person may recuse themselves if they have no interest in the position.
3: Each person left must then provide a 10 second speech as to why they should be a candidate for the position.
4: A short vote is held, and the top 10 contestants advance to the second round where they may then go through the normal debates (and contest against the incumbent if their term limits are not up)
It would make the elections into more of a dog and pony show but would prevent 2 party institutions from dominating the landscape and usurping the American political system for personal gain.
