The only way to fix things would be proportional representation and moving away from the two party system.

On the one hand giving parties more power sounds a little gross.

On the other hand I don't know a solve for every bill having less than a handful of votes that are bipartisan...

  • 3 or 5 member multi-member voting districts determined by a geographic clustering algorithm using approval voting.

    • Honestly I am surprised that tackling a method of easily collecting approval votes hasn't been done yet.

      Like even in the abstract "here is what a voting sheet would look like" that isn't meaningfully more complex.

      To be clear I think it is a hard problem and so far is the biggest detractor to alternative voting schemes.

      However given all that I agree with your point that it is a meaningful path forward.
