Revolutions are a lot messier than they look like on paper.
Will they do better? On most issues, yes. Kamala would not have done crap like threaten to annex Canada/Greenland/Venezuela/Panama/Gaza. She also wouldn't have masked stormtroopers picking up brown people at random. There would still be deportations, and that system would still be very imperfect, but it would be somewhat more humane.
As for "fixing" things - what does that look like, exactly?
Unfortunately, things like gerrymandering and the Electoral College aren't going away because they are baked into the Constitution. The South and the sparsely populated upper plains/mountain states like Wyoming and the Dakotas aren't going to give that stuff up without massive bloodshed. For my part, I would prefer proportional representation in the House, which would solve gerrymandering, and curtailing the powers of the Senate and making the House the primary focus of the government. Having an upper legislative house that has as much power as the U.S. Senate is definitely an anomaly. In most countries, senates are largely advisory bodies that only really step in in times of crisis. I'd also like to see snap elections and confidence votes (again, House only) implemented, but again, the South and Plains will not give that up without a war.
