And that's better? That's what we have now, effectively, but 2 simple changes could "fix" the system significantly:

1. Campaign finance reform 2. Ranked choice voting (or similar, as RCV is not without its issues).

I'd also like to see some sort of "understanding test" so that you can only vote if you can demonstrate that you understand the arguments of the proposition in question. There's no way to do that, but it makes me happy to wish it were so.
