I must admit, I think the two party system in the US is not good. The primary system in particular needs fixing. I couldn't believe when the Democrats just suspended the primary election last time - especially after the multi-year PR war about rigged elections and election interference.
Still, I think they learned their lesson and they'll have a primary next time. People will get to vote on a candidate they like. We should also remember that the Presidency is just one arm of government. Elections are also happening for the House, Senate, and local government of all shapes and sizes.

In the past few terms we have very bitterly learned that the President just does whatever he wants, the House doesn't do anything, and Senate is mostly interested in getting bribed.
The President gets away with it when his party has control of all three branches. When they do not, their power is significantly curbed.
