This sounds like the type of idealism that leads to the situation we have now, unless you’re referring to primaries, or state/local politics (Note: they editted their comment significantly to include more detail after I posted this).
One major problem we have now is not having a system similar to Canadas “no confidence vote” if the current administration isn’t working we shouldn’t be stuck with them for four years while they are a terrorist to the country.
No confidence votes don’t quite solve the problem, and honestly, Canada, with our first past the post system, is headed towards the same eventual doom of America.
Instead we should look more towards proportional representation systems.
Anything that isn’t that inevitably leads to 2 shitty parties people have to vote for the least bad amongst.
Now to be clear, no confidence is better in that its automatically applied if a budget can’t be passed etc, and it stops complete deadlock, but we still have huuuuuuuuuuuuge gaping flaws.

Fair point. I think there are many options, but not just one, and always happy to hear more.
