Seeing as the politics community only allows links to articles, which I think is stupid horseshit. Let’s talk openly about changes we want to see here. I think the whole “this isn’t the place for politics” is a part of the reason we’re in this shit situation. We’ve let the greedy narcissists take over all discussion while we have no where to reasonably talk about policy.
I’ll start with a couple:
End presidential pardon
Raise federal minimum wage to $15
Federal cannabis legalization (buy/sell/grow)
End daylight savings
Term limits across all three branches, including changing the 22nd amendment to allowing 1 term as POTUS. Two terms is a completely arbitrary limit.
Ban congressional stock trading.
Grant voting rights to anyone paying taxes, including employed people under 18YO and non-citizens.
Massively increase the generational wealth tax. I’m talking somewhere in the 90%s for any inheritance of more than 10 figures that slides up asymptomatically to near-100% for anything more than that. It should be functionally impossible for anyone’s kids to inherit more than a few million dollars, encourage the spending of that money while the earner is alive rather than just mindless generational hoarding
Get rid of the electoral college and mandate direct, rank-choice voting only for every level of election.
Other than that, rebuild the SEC and IRS to function as they were originally intended, tools to go collect funds and manage a healthy economy, not facilitate fraud and punish the working class.
