Violent Revolution.

I don't remember the percentage of the top of my head, but in America a huge amount of people are one unexpected large bill away from poverty and a lot of people are living pay check to pay check. Once a significant portion of America can no longer afford bread, then we might see some change.... and likely deaths.

There is an interstate pact that has 82% of electoral college votes required to subvert the electoral college and elect the president via a national popular vote. With the blue tsunami this week, it could in theory reach 100%, in which case the odds of the US ever having a Republican president again drop significantly since the majority of recent Republican presidental wins have actually lost the popular vote.

If it was revealed that the federal government is mostly a front to transnational criminal syndicates that traffic humans, smuggle drugs and weapons.

Oh wait...

Probably getting rid of Citizen's United, taxing the wealthy correctly, getting rid of the electoral college, reworking the makeup of the Supreme Court, and ranked choice voting would do most of it. All hard but doable.

Theoretically we could end the electoral college next year. There's a thing called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. We now have trifectas in enough states for it to go in effect, should a few more states join. We also have Congress too (needed because they'll have to approve it). It's unlikely the federal government can force the states to do ranked choice voting without a Constitutional amendment. But we could implement it on a state by state basis. The Supreme Court could be reshaped by the next President and a willing Congress - the needed precedent is already there in the circuit courts. Citizen's United is trickiest. The straightforward approach requires either a Constitutional amendment or the Supreme Court to overturn itself. But it's possible there's some tricky alternate paths to accomplish the goal. One of them is convincing enough states to ban corporate spending on political speech. Since corporations are a state creation, they alone have that sort of power. Problem is even one non cooperating state could possibly ruin that. But there might be other ways too.

I would say money out of politics is a good start. Citizens United needs to go.

Beyond that though, American willingly voted in a man twice who said he grabs women by the pussy.

1. A segment of the population was ok with that
2. A segment of the population didn't care enough and either stayed home or still voted for him.

Then there's all the other shitty things about him that were known for years prior to 2016.

I don't know how you fix that. America shows us all who they are and how do you change who you are? A sexist, racist, money obsessed bipolar lunatic.

I'm unsure electoral reform by itself is going to happen. The problem is, we have a 250 year old constitution that hasn't modernized well, and old money has sunk its teeth deeply into the current system such that it's ineffective at real change. The idea of a 1 time, 5% wealth tax is the cutting edge of what's considered "radical".

In my opinion, what it will take, is someone like Trump, or worse than Trump, finally shaking the country to a breaking point where the old system collapses. And I'll be honest - I'd love to see the change, but I'm not sure I'll survive the surgery to get there. But what I think it will take is the country finally reaching a point where they push for a constitutional convention, and in that setting, lay out reforms for our current electoral process. Anything short of that, and you're basically looking to get to a majority of people in power willing to vote to give up their own power. That's not impossible, but tends only to be true in rare cases, immediately after a huge shift in power like a revolution.

Define electoral reform. Ranked voting in all states?

Don't count on it, they are proud that their constitution is really old.

Since voting in the USA is controlled at the state level, it would require a different effort on each state to replace First-past-the-post voting and other crucial reforms. Alaska has Ranked Choice Voting actually, despite conservatives putting ballot initiatives to go back to FPTP voting every election cycle.

The good news is that means electoral reform can happen easier at the state level then trying to push shit through at the federal level.

The bad news is liberals in this country get rock hard when they yell and scream at those disenfranchised by the two party system. They adore their chains.
