The US has had worse structural power imbalances in the past. It’s gotten over them (after a generation or more) by - coalition shifts - every election, new groups going and out of each party - demographic shifts - shrinking / growing / moving around of different groups - external shock - war / depression / ?? changes incentives of governance (see Civil War, Great Depression) - hegemons dilemma - the in power party over time goes through in fighting, over confidence, etc (see Republicans becoming corrupt in The Gilded Age) Alternate constitutional order can mean a lot besides amendments - or even using Federal power. It can be about organizing economic power to reject illegitimacy. It can mean organizing the Democratic Party differently as more of a shadow set of social institutions that support people. It can mean leveraging state power, and building coalitions of blue states. Or other creative approaches to power.
