Change the voting system to allow more parties so that more interests can be represented. Consider weakening the federal government and moving power back to the states so that each person has more control over their own lives (one major part of this is shifting federal taxes to state taxes). Problem is that none of the solutions will be achievable because they consist of weakening the power of those who currently have power, and few people are willing to give up such power unless there is a real and significant threat of them losing even greater power if they don't compromise. For a more discrete example, why would either major party approve a change that gives a strong voice to weaker parties? Just look at how hard they work to keep weaker parties out of any major election debates. If we don't face a significant external threat, I wonder if there are any options other than for political polarization to continue to grow until... well I'm not sure what happens. I suspect it won't be pleasant.
