Not OP but I share their sentiments. At this point my political activism is all in on:
- Getting rid of first past the post for anything else like RCV or STAR or approval
- The national popular vote interstate compact to rid the winner take all issues with the presidency.
Until both these things happen the political parties will both continue to degrade.

- Qwertious 3y agoThose would definitely help, but a USA with actual majority-rule and viable third-party voting would have at least some chance of improving over time - if nothing else, there could be a federal "ban lobbying and overturn citizens united" party that people could first-preference.
- nrclark 3y agoIt's unfortunate that both of those would need to be done by congressmen, and congressmen are the ones benefiting from our current situation.
