That is why I think the biggest bang for buck in terms of improving the US political system would be for individual states to change their voting systems away from plurality voting to ranked choice voting (ideally the multi-seat electorate version STV). When my country changed away from plurality voting, after the first election under the new system in 1996, we immediately had 6 political parties with elected representation after historically being a 2-party country like the US. Every state has control over choosing what voting system to use to elect both their federal and state representatives, so this is something each and every state can do individually.
