In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

You could say the same about the US though, but we still have the same shitty voting system that ultimately boils down to 2 parties barring massive upheaval.

Not at all, look at the linked map. We've only one party in ultimate control which flicks between the big two but we don't have only 2 parties with any viable chance at politics at all. The SNP etc, despite having no executive power, still manage to influence political thought. The same can't really be said for the USA in any meaningful way.
