The problem is that going back to "normal" would require either Republican voters (en masse) to accept what a terrible mistake they've made, or for the Democratic establishment to stop being the "good cop" stasis option still controlled by corpos. And neither one seems likely.

We'd have a chance with ranked pairs voting, which would naturally allow competing options to gradually gain support rather than the current two party duopoly. But getting that to be implemented would also require one of the above.
