We know what authoritarianism is. What is the opposite of that?

Democrats should put progressive issues on the ballot this year. They could put in a $17 minimum wage and a progressive land value tax (that replaces the state property tax) to fund state social programs cut by the Republicans.

What's left over after funding local social safety nets goes to a basic income program for the poor and middle class. They could also put no voter purges 179 days from the election, make election day a holiday for state employees, and drive-through voting on the ballot.

Democrats could put upzoning on the state ballot to increase the housing supply and drive prices down. The GOP would be running against populist programs and Democratic candidates at the same time.

It wouldn't require that much for a multimember proportional system to be set up in these states. With ranked choice, we could have a single transferable vote system. By using the approval voting method, we could have proportional approval voting.

You only need a change in the voting method and some other modifications.
