The american government is an absolute joke, not just because of the people who are in power at this time, but the system it's self is fundamentally flawed.
We have an MMP (mixed member proportional) system here in NZ, and the biggest parliamentary concerns we have is over MP's blowing their travel budgets
Here the nation is divided in two ways, first by region in what would be most like the Representative system in the states, each district aims to be balanced through population and each elected rep gets a seat in Parliament.
Then there is the party vote, each voter gets to chose what party they believe best represents their ideologies. If a party gets over 5% of the party vote then they are qualified for the division of votes, the 120 Party seats are divided amongst the qualified parties based on how much of the vote they receive.
Oh, and saying that the solution is a depression is like saying the only way to fix my sprained wrist is to break it outright...
