Well, the first thing to be done in USA is to stop dis BS two party system. It is still better than only one, sure, but a working democracy should give more options and tools to make each individual’s opinion respected.
After that something like an initiative is needed so that a the people can commit changes to the constitution by winning a majority vote in the majority of states and one that counts for all states (changes to constitution have to win both majority votes)
Ranked choice voting, actual majority rules, end filibuster, term limits and make sure no one member of any body should be able to throw a wrench into the works.
I’m not American, but have similar struggles. Is this the kind of thing we can push locally then hope to expand out, or does it really have to come from the top down?
Actually you all probably have more local power than a lot of countries, so lots of opportunity to land and expand
If it was me, I would start locally and keep expanding upward. There are some examples already in the US that I’ve seen, where the vitriol is out of campaign because it’s just not feasible when there’s more than 2 dogs in the race.

I am, but am able to live outside the US.

I personally prefer to start locally and expand upwards. Especially here in switzerland where we value the right to have local laws very highly 😇
