Something else that I don’t know how you fix: governing 330m people is difficult and messy. Mistakes will be made. There’s time for legitimate criticism of problems but people have to be able to show the other side some grace. This just isn’t going to happen though in a two party system with an evaporating center

agreed - mistakes will happen, and it is messy - but until politicians stop accepting the mistakes and messiness as the "norm" and not try to make any meaningful changes, then we will stay right where we are, if not back slide further down the slope.
unfortunately there is no real cut and dry answer to make things better - no-one is willing to compromise on things that will help matters, and until all sides are willing to reach some sort of middle ground, no meaningful change can be made.

It's difficult and messy if you try and do so from a central government. Not as difficult if you leave most of the government up to state and local government. That way you keep the governing close to those governed. The closer the government is to the people, the more effective it is.
Which was the entire reason this country was founded the way it was. But we've tossed that shite out the window for a DC Bureaucracy/Technocracy that has injected itself in to every single aspect of our lives.
