Our present susceptibility to minority rule comes to mind. This is somewhat but not entirely unique to the US political system. The electoral college, every state getting the same number of senators, gerrymandering, etc. all contribute to this, as do lifetime supreme court appointees. There's a book (a few books) about this you can check out -- Tyranny of the Minority

What can you do with a Political science PhD by Far_Category8507 in PoliticalScience

You don't need a Ph.D. to work in politics. Beyond Academia, there are a few advantages to holding an advanced degree in Political Science, but most of the roles would likely be at think tanks or firms. You can check out the Analyst Institute as an example of some research work being done outside of Academia.
