By this, I mean what if the U.S. was more extreme when it came to endorsing things like Communism and Fascism more, instead of the majority that is more or less centrist. What would political parties look like? How would anything get done in Congress? How could this come about?
What if the Constitution was drafted to have a parliamentary system in place, and proportional representation was introduced at some point? Maybe we'd see a situation where many smaller parties have legislative representation that can afford to be more extreme?
You keep the whole, one district represents 15,000 people rule?

Oh lord.
Very easy for one to to back up a parliamentary system with more reps for people when they solely look at the prime example for a parliamentary system. The issue with the Parliamentary system v. senate system is that in the United Kingdom, there are roughly only 61 million Britons whereas the United States roughly 306 million AND the country has an area of only 94.5k miles and the United States has the area of 9.8 million miles.
I see that there are 646 MPs, which is the equivalent of our reps. Doing the math, 61 million divided by 646 is roughly 1 MP for roughly 94,500 Britons. Are you sure about your sarcastic statement with 1 = 15,000???
Sorry guys, the United States will not be looking bright eyed at a parliamentary system anytime soon. Personally, I prefer a senate system, it seems more civil anyway. I can't recall the last time D.C. police had to break up a fist fight in the House or the Senate or when a politician arrived to a Senate or House meeting obviously, and I say obviously, drunk.
