We have to fix the machinery of US politics. Trump is not the cause of our problems, but he is a symptom of it. We have a government that does not work for the people, and Trump took that sentiment and rode it all the way to the White House.
Democracy reform is necessary to root out the rot from US politics and hopefully have a governing body that actually is able to govern. We need a broad set of fixes to let go of our tribal bickering and focus on the bigger pictures. Things like congressional term limits, ranked choice voting, media accountability, ending practices like gerrymandering and voter suppression, people-funded political campaigns, and getting better at identifying bots and trolls that use propaganda to sow division and doubt into the political process.
There's a lot going on that is and has been undermining people's faith in politics, and if we can't trust the people in charge, that's a recipe for revolution
