Our system blows basically. No one is arguing that it is a good system. It is just to think that minority politicians can reboot it and start over is so unrealistic that it would be dead in the water. Think about it - it's even hard to get a national conversation going because people want to talk about war. The insurance companies have so many billions in the game they would not give up their hegemony.
