Our voting system is a lot less screwy than theirs, so you're probably going to be waiting for a while.

Ours is still a bit screwy, but less than them.

We've both got that but American gerrymandering is an art form.

They've got the electoral college, but their winner take all system basically excludes realistic third parties.
