Really, you are held prisoners of an outdated document and a political philosophy that has led to your current dysfunction.
The strictures and expressions of your constitutional setup combined with the philosophy of extreme individual freedom has left you stalled, unable to progress towards better life outcomes for your citizens no matter how much you may desire it. Especially when keeping America's global edge is considered more important than domestic satisfaction by people wanting change.
Intentionally preventing majority rule is a ludicrous policy for a supposed democratic republic. It's not about the extremes, it's about the fact that the middle is disenfranchised, by design. And because it's by design you won't be able to change it while chained to the constitution.
