Democracy has many problems, but one good thing about it is that you are able to change the people in power without chopping any heads off. It's just that some democratic countries aren't quite democratic enough for that that to actually work IRL. Also, American democracy seems to be a special exception where all sorts of trickery makes it even harder to actually fix the problems using democratic means.

The way I see it, you need to switch to preferential voting and rewrite a bunch of laws.
