    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

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

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