I feel like that won't really help. We need actual reforms which will get politicians to listen to the people. Maybe something like ranked choice voting so we can vote out the centrists.

That's the point: nobody in positions of power are willing to even CONSIDER the kind of reforms needed, since they profit from the current system and can count on most people meekly accepting the rotten status quo.

Maybe a few more dead billionaires will make them stop taking the public's acquiescence for granted..

You're spot on there, bud.
