The real solution btw is just a better consensus mechanism in our electoral process in the form of STAR Voting.
It is quite literally that simple.
The lack of choice (as explained in Duverger's Law) is what kills our politics and helps the media portray all political battles as us vs them and not "What shade out of a million shades of gray should this policy be?".
tl;dr - STAR Voting is quite literally a panacea for nearly all the extreme ills that plague our politics - even a large portion of "voting doesn't matter so I won't" apathy....because to vote "strategically" under STAR Voting is to just vote honestly and every vote matters. No revolution required - just a better electoral process. I'm happy to answer any questions.
