    I’d suggest adding:

    • Establish new “Common Ground” party with a platform mandated to only reflect issues and positions with a 2/3rd majority support among the American public in multiple 3rd party polls from different pollsters

    Political ideology falls along a normal distribution. Very dumb to draw the line down the middle rather than capturing the norm and excluding the edges.

    Let’s have progress demand a shift in the national attitudes over time rather than let minor shifts of a few percentage points every few years in a deadlock determine progress or regress.

      Ranked choice voting should naturally handle that. Two parties with increasing polarization is the natural outcome of FPTP voting.
