YOU get off your ass and into the street, and protest, riot and post pics and random footage to the internet from the barricades for the world to see.
The state of emergency is declared but protests are beyond critical mass
The media reporting cops, national guard and soldiers crossing over to side with the protesters, first singlew ones, then whole platoons, armoured cars..
Mutiny in the armed forces, naval vessels and forts choosing sides and siding with the people..
The chain of command finds ityself opposed by the majority of its armed forces and new elections are called.
Hmmm...this sounds quite similar to how the civil war in Syria began...and that resulted in mass death and isn't ending anytime soon. Doesn't sound like a good idea.

Pick a party other than Rep/Dem, they're cut from the same cloth; maybe some real change would occur then 
Or.. if everybody just said fuck it and didn't vote, I'd like to see the outcome of that.

Yeah that would end up in probably the ugliest civil war ever. I really think the only way is for the majority of people to be educated on a humanist level. People need to understand eachother and be prepared to trust in eachother's intentions. It sounds ridiculous but it is the only way and something we should focus on just as much as climate change, war, and facebook.
Just make a point to really know and understand people who are different, share yourself and what you know with others. That is something the government obviously doesn't want us to do on our own terms, and not the sort of behavior the government engages in itself. This is the way that sane and peaceful people must organize. Just by being connected as brothers and sisters we have a strength that the government does not.
That is the only positive change I can envision. More equality. It seems impossible sometimes to believe that mass killings and wholesale exploitation will stop, even if the US government is toppled, but maybe it would slow down for a bit. I can always dream.
