    Our election system mathematically guarantees there will be only two useful choices. Any attempt to swap one of those out requires years of transition in which you are actively helping the side who agrees with you even less to win and move you further away from what you want.

    Until we have more ubiquitous ranked-choice-esque systems, that will not change.

          Exactly, from the bottom up. Local candidates are probably the only ones you have a real chance of meeting and engaging with more often.
