3 steps is all it would take.

1. Overturn Citizens United
2. Meaningful campaign finance reform
3. Term limits on all elected positions

Remove incumbents' ability to amass war chests by trading favors for
cash and force a change to bring in newer, younger voices would go a
long way to making a government that more accurately reflected the
people.

Oh, and expand the Supreme Court to reflect the number of district
courts.

Who am I kidding? The people who would need to enact these changes are
the ones most benefitted by the status quo!
