We need a complete and fundamentally different structure to our political and economic systems.
Continuing to try and reform an intrinsically exploitative system which enables the systemic hierarchy of the owning class over the working class will never see progress towards the freedom of the working class.
Like what exactly? Something like Ranked Choice voting will solve a lot of the problems in our current political system. It removes the two party duopoly and replaces it with a system structured around coalitions, it removes the need to vote for "the lesser of two evils", it weeds out extremist candidates, and voters get much better representation. It's a very realistic, pragmatic approach to replace the electoral college with something vastly superior. The results from getting rid of first past the vote will be so immense that it can't really be understated.
Go read Kropotkin and start from there. Electoralism is not the answer, it is the problem.
