Get involved with your preferred local political party. Push for policy preferences that won't drive turnout for the opposing party and won't give that party a chance to nominate a clown and then still win.

Seems like politics produced the mess that the U.S. is now in, so I doubt that politics will be the solution. What's required is for the general population to realise that they do still have the actual power and remind their "leaders" of that fact.
