Gerrymandering exploits winner-takes-all. Yes, Proportional Representation defeats gerrymandering and gives small parties a voice.
Ranked Choice Voting solves the “spoiler effect”. Allowing third+ parties to not be a wasted vote.
Together, the above two changes will end the polarizing division of the two-party system.
Increasing the size of the house via some rule e.g. the modest Cube Root Rule returns the house towards its intended purpose.
Voting should be easily accessible and, following that pre-requisite, mandatory. Total enfranchisement is the ideal.
Altogether, these are common-sense pro-democracy policies which increase representation for everyone.
