    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)

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