Obviously, adjusting the system around a bit to make representatives more moderate and... representative
are great ideas no matter which way you slice it. Though I decided not to rank the voter suppression one too high here,
just cause I though it was a bit better fit for the other thread given the topic questions,
Ranked Vote: How Can We Prevent Societal Rifts From Expanding into Violence?
Not that it doesn't make sense here too though.

At the end of the day, this thread is asking how we combat foreign attempts to divide us/push us into violence, and anything that leads to us to being more united and confident in the fairness of our political processes is a step in the right direction in my book.
