99.9% of political problems are a result of forcing people to live with people they don't want to live with.
It's not about the kind of government you have, it's about the kind of people you have living under that government. With that being said, I think the US system of having powerful, diverse states with a limited Federal government is ideal for me.
People are happiest, and have the highest trust in government institutions, when surrounded by people similar to them (religion, race, ideology, etc.) This should be encouraged. Let libertarian isolationists have a state for themselves, let blue pill communists have a state for themselves, where both are free to live under the laws and culture they see fit. If you're in a state and want to live under different rules, find the state that best fits your ideology or culture and move there.
A Federal government on top of that state system, but responsible for only infrastructure and defense, would provide some basic cohesion between the different entities.
