US Political System Reform

Something need to be fixed for sure. Full-on direct democracy in the digital age could be wild. It'd require high knowledge, deep thought and empathy among citizens. Something need to break the stalemate of two party system. Maybe a new great leader will do it, or maybe restructuring the political system. The problem today is most politicians themselves not fairly representing the people, even the so-called "rebels".

You're picking at today's targets without looking at the root of the problem. As long as you're thinking big, how about disrupting politics? Build a system which can't be affected by lobbying.

You don't need the government to solve this problem, they helped create the problem in the first place. You need to reform your political system to actually make it work.

I disagree with your edit. There's definitely a systemic problem, but it's a systemic problem with elected officials. Naming, shaming, and voting them out is the solution.

It's essentially a problem of corruption. If you want to 'beat the system from within', for instance by joining the political stage or by becoming insanely wealthy through some corporate scheme so you can use your power to lobby you will end up being such an integrated part of the system that arguing against it will argue to a large extent against your own interest. That's why the situation persists. If you could convince large numbers of voters to vote their own interests instead of being trick

We can't do better within our current system; it's optimized. Congress must agree to fixing it (with instant run-off voting, to allow competition) but they certainly won't work against themselves to do it. So we're stuck. The president or a member of Congress can largely disserve you with impunity.

problem is with political system, lobbying and campaign contributions!

One thing that gives me hope is that politics has always been a mess (there are some times of stability but they never last forever). Though I think a big thing we need to do is strengthen democracy in the US, get rid of first past the post elections, gerrymandering, the necessity of large donors required for campaigns, unequal representation in Congress, etc. I think if we break the two-party system politics in the US would look better.

I mean, I think a bunch of people (myself included) realized this a long time ago.If your real question is "at what point do we fix this?", it's unfortunately a bit of a catch-22: realistically we need to get rid of things like lobbying, two-party system, gerrymandering, etc. in order to get good reform going. Unfortunately fixing those things might be difficult before we reform social.Like ranked choice voting or something might be a good idea, but why would our existing s

That's a problem and likely isn't going to go away unless something big happens with the political system, like maybe a third party taking over.
