Yeah, it's only just now entertaining the idea of thinking of a concept of a plan to control damage.
Anything short of campaign finance reform and a more progressive system than first-past-the-post voting is just going to become a return to business as usual and putting out escalating dumpster fires without any investment in the future.
To be fair, I don't think any country can or should be fixed, but this one's got an especially bad case of corruption that's stunting it's political and social growth. There's always going to be some corruption, but I feel like right now we watching the world series championship of corruption with about 30% of the population zealously cheering it on.
