Necessary electoral reforms for the USA

The U.S. needs the following electoral reforms:

Unicameral legislatures (abolish the senates) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameralism

Party-list proportional representation for legislative elections - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation

Instant runoff voting for executive elections (mayor, governor, president) -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

Election of the president solely by the popular vote (abolish the Electoral College).


That is all.

Very well, then we'll swap rules for the House of Representatives and Senate, just because you're unhappy with it: the House is elected to by the state legislatures instead.

I am not arguing for it on a structure of "betterness" because you can't.  Politics can't make arguments in terms of "betterness" and even "equity" escapes its precision.  As soon as you start taking such abstract concepts such as that into account, you've already lost.  I make the argument for one of the perception of balance.  Democracy on its own doesn't work effectively; there are too many whimful voices and far too many demagogues.  A Republic on its own doesn't work effectively; the voice of the people does not remain as timely or as audible.  That's the reason they were assembled into a bicameral governing body in the first place, where one house of the Congress represented the people of the Union and the other the States of Union, meanwhile states can internally handle their own affairs.  In this way, the health and direction of the political geography and the demography visceral to the whole requires compromise between those who legislate and those who allow themselves to be legislated on three interconnected levels - the people to the states, the people to the federal, and the states to the federal.  There is discourse between all important factions.

When Senators and Congress(wo)men get up on a podium, who do they refer to as the target of their duty?  Their "constituents."  They're talking about the people.  Between the Congress(wo)man and the Senator of the same State, they mean the same people; but what about the State itself, it's own well-being independent of the people at times? its voice of decision in the government has been diluted.

You have failed United States politics completely, possibly forever.  We have no consolation prize for you but thank you for playing.
I'll assume somehow that you've never had a civics class and, therefore, never heard phrases "tyranny of the majority" and "tyranny of the minority?"
