You won’t like this: balkanize the US and make a non-centralized Union of the remaining states. Just so politics are different in all states. Diversity breeds progressivity
They tried that. The nation was originally a confederacy. It failed. After adopting a federal government things worked better, even when a Civil War challenged that Union. You may nit like it but this is the best system found so far. We’re allowed to change the things we don’t like but it’s not easy to do precisely because such changes need to be difficult. Rally your communities. The largest voting block is “didn’t vote” and you may not like this but it’s mostly younger people and a big chunk of minorities that don’t actually vote.
Stop complaining if you aren’t willing to work towards fixing things.
No worries. I don’t expect everyone to know American history. But the founding fathers did originally merge the 13 colonies together as a confederacy. The biggest problem with that was it was difficult to raise taxes to pay for the Revolutionary War. Part of the reason France lost money and eventually had its own revolution.
I’d also hazard anyone from copying the Balkans. Aren’t most of those countries pretty shitty to live in?

Putin would love that.
