Could we add electoral reform to the list? We need to introduce competition in our political system.
People deserve the right to vote for who best represents them, while still counting their vote if that candidate doesn't win.
The First Past the Post electoral system most states use will always result in a two party system.
Since the electoral process is run at the state level, we can pass electoral reform one state at a time. Some states have already passed reform!
CGP Grey has a great video on First Past the Post voting if you're interested in learning more.

- dragonwriter 3y ago> How do you expect electoral reform to happen, when the people elected were elected because of the current electoral system? I expect it to happen first at the state level, in states where the people have reserved the power to alter the State Constitution and laws to themselves without requiring the involvement of elected officials in other than ministerial roles.
