Right now our choices for the general election look like they are going to be shit or shittier again. How do we fix this?

Vote for a candidate you actually like. Until we all do that, nothing will change.

Did that in 2016 with a write in.

I voted for the libertarian candidate in 2020. Even then, didn't actually know much about her. So that wasn't really voting for the actual person I wanted, but it also wasn't just voting for the democrat or republican, because I hate the other candidate so much I just default to the other side, either. So I was still basically a hypocrite to my own thoughts I have now. But I think as you get older, you truly can have at least modest changes of opinion.

But before that, I was 100% without a doubt, a huge hypocrite, and a huge part of the problem as I see the problem. I did the same thing I'm saying we shouldn't do now.

Starting in 2024, I'm just going to vote for who I actually want to be president. And if that's a wasted vote, I'll sleep just fine.

Get involved at the earliest point aka primaries?

Americans don't have time for that shit though, we barely have time for anything that isn't work nowadays.

Well it is looking more and more likely that the two potential candidates America does not want are going to be the nominees again. So I guess another 4 more years of putrid Biden (and another 4 more years of Trump pushing fantasies of stolen elections).

there is a voting system called AAD voting. It stands for Approve Approve Disapprove. In this system you vote for your first and second approve choice and one disapprove choice. both approves are worth +1, a disapprove is -1. The secret sauce in this system is that ANY candidate that gets 50%+1 disapproves is automatically disqualified. Thus by definition the candidate would start with a positive approval rating and if used in primaries we would be looking at far more consensus candidates and fewer polarizing figures.

I am sure it's not perfect, and I imagine current polarizing figures would challenge its constitutionality. but it does address the biggest single issue with our current system - that candidates are disapproved by the majority of Americans.

Has anyone else heard of this?
