Many people are very unhappy with both major party nominees, so it would be nice if we moved away from the two party duopoly. There are countries with FPTP that still have more than 2 significant parties, such as Canada and the UK.
That doesn't mean that their systems are better. We should probably move to an Alternative Vote format before expanding the party system.
Their systems aren't better, they still have FPTP. Other countries have better systems.
That's where you're wrong - we both have fptp but their executive is elected by their legislature whereas ours is not, an important, relevant difference.
They can have multiple parties but they really only have two major parties within each burough - lab vs con, con vs lib dem, lib dem vs lab, lab vs snp, etc depending on the borough.
We could have that at our Congressional level but not at our presidential level. And Castro's right, we desperately need IRV or something like it so 3rd parties can become relevant.
For comparing Parliament and Congress, they are basically the same system. Of course the Prime Minister is elected differently than the Congress.
No, not even close, reread my post closer to understand why they are different enough that it affects what you're taking about.
Can you have a coalition executive government in a presidential system like the US like you can in a parliamentary system? (Hint: the answer is no)
Literally every country in Latin America, the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan ...
