What is "something better"?
Parliamentary elections have their own baggage (witness the power of the Communist (-Marxist) party in India as of today). There is no perfect system of voting... just less flawed ones. Arrow's impossibility theorem
2-party blows, but would you like a Superpower that was REALLY gridlocked by a parliamentary system with no ruling coalition? The President as Commander-in-Chief is sometimes dictatorial (never more so than today), but its really not all that bad since we can (and I hope will) get rid of him after 4 years.
