Would the US be better off under a parliamentary system? (hexbear.net)

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?

That's just a more sage way of divvying up the spoils of imperialism

¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯ I'm not advancing this as a way to transform empire into a benevolent figure on the world stage, I'm just wondering if it would be any better at all for anyone

I get the sentiment, but also I would like if my arthritic, cancer survivor mother didn't have to pay out the ass for medication she needs to function. Just daydreaming over here
