      America is ruled on Israel first politics. Media is Zionist. Politicians who just mention “ceasefire is good” got record primary funding against them, even if those that lost never made Israel an issue against them. The rest of American oligarchy influencing politics sides with Israel instead of fighting with them, because usually Israel doesn’t take much of the budget. Israel becomes the kingmaker. Trump is favoured by Netanyahu maximalists, but all politicians take a loyalty oath to Israel/AIPAC.

      Ranked choice voting

      This is your only recommendation that gives alternate parties a chance. It would need a campaign focus that Israel first rule/money of the Republicrats disqualifies them. Media would need to be nationalized, other “lobbyists for evil” would also need threats to be nationalized. UBI/Freedom dividends is more important than democracy, because it redistributes power to the people instead of hoping for a hero to fix everything.

      We can’t escape genocide because we can’t escape money in politics.

      So you do the exact same thing over and over and over again because both sides will tell you the other is the worst that would happen, when in fact both would continue supporting bombing babies.
