Proposing either is extremely difficult, and I’d wager that most people wouldn’t want to change it, either through ignorance of the system, and manipulation from those that like the current system.
I would say that the alternative is a long way off, especially in the USA. The current system is deeply entrenched and looks more likely to fall into outright fascism than get better, unfortunately.
In general…the way forward is for the working class to take control of the government. This can happen through electoralism or revolution.
In the US, the nation’s mythology is so embedded into people’s minds it will take a long time just to unwind those threads and get enough people thinking that maybe things actually could be better. In the meantime, as others have said, there is some hope in the lower levels of government, and engagement there is certainly worthwhile.
Two questions for this:
