Live in a world where voters actually hold representatives responsible for their decisions as opposed to the one where voters have the memory of goldfish and vote for the politician with the best PR campaign or just knee-jerk vote for one party universally (regardless of whether or not that party actually represents them in any meaningful way).

Pretty much this. But we dont live in such a world, so the only option we have is to just accept the crap that happens in politics.

Make a system where the public is made aware of who has made what decision and a means to quickly vote out anti-democratic actors.

Or make particularly popular votes not require congressional approval.

an article V convention can bypass congress to make a constitutional amendment. still need to convince 2/3 of the states to agree to the convention. 5 have signed so far.
