As a fan of democracy, I always like to point out when people complain about the results of the democratic process in the US, that the US has many well understood flaws in its democracy that could be fixed to the benefit of all by increasing the level democracy.

Some examples are:

* Voting systems that don't encourage polarization * Mandatory voting * Anti-gerryamndering

But there's lots, from small scale to large, within and outside of political parties and politics generally.

It's a bit "no true democracy" but generally giving people a say seems to work really well, even in the face of people trying to sub wet it.
