I can give a list of things to do and target but that won’t have much selling power minus some reasoning behind it, so apologies for not just saying, “Do this.”
The way that I would look at things is like, there’s two ways to be the opposite.
Like, someone overeats. We want to solve that problem. So one solution is to purge. You eat a lot and then you put your finger down your throat, or you flush everything out of your system quickly with laxatives and enemas. You’ve erased the badness by doing the equal but opposite badness.
The other solution is that you just eat normal. That’s the other way of doing the opposite.
To the view of the normal person, the big issue is that we’ve basically got the two big groups of crazies - the close minded, regressive folk versus the attention seeking, experientialists - fighting each other out for ultimate domination and neither group feels like a great pick to back. Neither one seems capable of connecting to real problems or real solutions.
Like say that we want a better health care system. We can’t have that unless the majority of the government comes together to decide on some general, mutually acceptable framework. But, as it is, anything that either side would purpose would be hounded out as “evil” by the other side, revoked or kneecapped, and destroyed as soon as the other group comes into power.
You can’t accomplish any new law of significance. You can’t support good causes without the other side supporting bad causes, just to spite you. There’s literally no point in advocating for any cause - be it health care, women’s rights, worker’s rights, or anything else - since nothing can ever be accomplished without it being the work of evil.
So where is an anti-gerrymandering Constitutional amendment? Where is the amendment to restore the supermajority rules for Senate approvals? Where are the laws to make judges and prosecutors non-partisan, non-elected people? Where are the laws to add sortition to voting?
If you tell me that the problem is corruption and partisanship, but your solution is to shut down legislation that would limit stock holding by Congress, advise court packing, you refuse to suspend the pardon power to a President being investigated for corruption, and you can’t come up with better systems, then you’re not the answer.
If your only answer is that the evil boogyman on the other side will get me, if I don’t vote for you, then you still have some growing up to do.
