we can fix US politics with a few simple steps. 1. remove the 2-party system, 2. enact Article the First (congressional apportionment amendment), 3. get the public fucking involved
(4) 2-party systems and multiple party systems have both their pros and cons. E.g. in multiple party systems you need to form coalitions. My pol science advise: start with step 3. MAGA
5/ and kickstart the public into awareness. All of the other fundamental changes to the party systems and other governance models can only come when the corrupt, broken parts are gone
4/ You're right though, step 3 really should be the first one. But how does one get the public involved? Right now it seems that just the election of Trump was enough to start the fire
3/ because it would require exponentially more financing for Big Corp to get their selected representatives elected. Or even get them in the running against another of their selections
2/ Article the First would break down the current size of districts to roughly 1 representative per every 60,000 citizens. Increased representation decreases special interest funding
1/ I was aware the districts were how representatives were assigned, but not how the districts and voting work. I don't vote, so I haven't taken the time to learn the process
