You do need to change the system, but you can keep the President, reduce the President’s powers, and have a prime-minister to take care of many areas.

P.S.: I am from Portugal, he’s definitely not my President.

You do have a point, but what would be the alternative? I have considered direct democracy, but the ultra-wealthy may still use that to their advantage.

I agree with the sentiment, but I do not agree that political parties should be abolished. Instead, there should be proportional representation, and more political parties, with more perspectives — the majority of solutions come from a democracy.
