One idea is to do everything we can to support minor political parties, because they bring diversity to political discourse that doesn't necessarily fit into a two-party system.
Probably the most important change along these lines would be to replace first-past-the-post voting with a system that allows people to express more complex preferences, such as approval voting, ranked choice voting, or range voting.
Other ideas include publicly funded elections, mixed-member proportional representation, redistricting via the shortest splitline algorithm, and compulsory voting.
