Reversing Citizens United, publicly funding elections, installing a functional regulatory regime and equitable taxation would go a long way.
Perhaps we could also engage in less ill considered military adventurism as well? Causing a domestic affordability crisis as a distraction and a salve for one's ego seems like a bad idea.
You'll find half the voting population is aligned with the capital against that. So I don't think that will fly until the situation becomes quite dire.
That's true, but not so dire that they are motivated to act, besides, they are too gullible to even properly register how far they've been duped to act against their own interests. I used to have some kind of delusion about how democracy was 'good enough' because of my implicit assumption that people on average were smart enough, educated enough and in general wise enough to realize when they're being played. That seems to have been a pretty serious mistake on my part.
