Im really getting sick of the half-ars politics in the USA

The simpler route there would be to socialize Federal elections: the government guarantees you a certain amount of ad space in various venues that you may use as you see fit, but it's funded strictly by the government and will give equal voice to both candidates, and thus makes sure that politicians don't have to go grubbing to various large lobbies so that they can acquire the money necessary to remain competitive.

America always only has 2 candidates?

That would be the only realistic thing you could get people to agree to. But the way our elections work mean that third parties by their nature cannot exist for long, because its in the interest of one party or the other (or sometimes both) to stamp the third party out of existence, because generally a third party will only sap the base of one of the two, leaving the other more powerful than ever

Ours is a winner-take-all system. If an election went 35%-34%-33%, 35 gets everything while 34 and 33 get squat, so a two-party setup is only natural
