In theory that’s what the federal system is supposed to be; states are the mix of red, white, blue and green. Though obviously it would be great if more states themselves were coalition govts, and if the feds didn’t have quite so much reach.
In a mostly theoretical sense. America can’t fix its politics without making some radical changes to the voting system, but I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon.
The current system naturally gravitates towards a two-party system, which isn’t quite what I would consider a coalition government. If you have three or four parties actively negotiating about major decisions, that’s when you begin to see the benefits.
