Another option would be to increase the size of the House of Representative.
The House of Representatives is supposed to be 'the people's house', where the voice of the people in US government is strongest. The House was not a set size, its grown many times in US history to reflect the growing population. But we haven't increases the size of the House in AGES, meaning that each representative now represents a much larger group of people than they are supposed to, which means they are less directly accountable to anyone and no one's voice is being heard.
Increasing the size of the house would mean breaking up states, especially the more populated ones, into smaller districts. This creates better representation for voters, but also greatly reduces the damage done by gerrymandering because it forces districts to be SMALLER, thus removing a lot of the ability to fuck with them in long, wonky ways to marginalize specific voting blocks.
All of the democracies that are happier than the US in a representative democracy have a lower voter-to-representative ratio than we do. It just makes for a better functioning government. There is only ONE country on the list that has a worse ratio than we do: its India. Thats right, the USA is almost India tier in its government.
