Without Congress or the Supreme Court

Pretty sure the potential lies in changing this.

Vote. Not just for president, but for every office you're able to. Because this shit isn't just "Trump did it!" or "Biden didn't do enough!" It's also the legislators, and a lot of the judiciary they approved (and probably pushed during the Trump administration). Not to mention all the state and local reps that initiate most of the policies that affect people.

It basically all starts with Congress. We could fix so much shit if we ever managed to get a real majority (not 48 Dems and two 'not technically Republicans')

We could fix so much shit if we ever managed to get a real majority

We would just change it to "we could fix so much shit if we ever managed to get a supermajority."

And then redefine "supermajority" to mean 67.
