Now no offence to the US political system but the primaries are a symptom of a two party system.

Without them and with ranked choice voting, y'all would have had Sanders (edit: in 2016) and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Much love. I mean it.

No offense taken. Even our first president and founding father, George Washington advised against a bicameral system.

Who knows what we'd have. We could grow vibrant third parties, too.

They should just pick a dictator for life, would save them a lot of money and the result would be the same.
