Almost entirely democratic societies always end up fragmented like America. This was known in Plato’s time.

Unfortunately the propaganda pushers these days get to publish articles on “science.org”, trying to convince us the system is fundamentally sound - we just need some tweaks.

You can look for ranked voting systems as a solution that prevents excessive fragmentation - if a proposal has high approval and high rejection, it'll be rejected.

You can also make that with giving people one positive vote and two negative ones to give to any candidate, provided not both negative ones go to the same candidate.
