Your options are tolerant-ish cyberpunk dystopia or neo-fedual theocracy, that's it. At least the cyberpunk one doesn't oppress queer folks or try and shove a religion down your throat.

But maybe we could ... not do the dystopia thing? A little?

Sorry, that's communism.

But you see voting doesn't work. That's why we keep alternating between democrats and republicans so that we never have to hold democrats to too high of a standard while they bring us back to the status quo of not living in hell.

Meanwhile if the democrats were clearly winning every election, that would give us space to shift the Overton window to the left. But that's not a perfect fairytale solution so we'll all just burn to death instead.
