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
The US needs something like 15-20 new constitutional amendments.
Any legislation can be rewritten too easily (or just plain ignored, apparently) the next time a half-witted authoritarian casts Mass Charm and enough people fail their WIS check.
One example: congressional war and emergency declarations are invalid without an end date no more than 1 year from the initial declaration. Congress can renew with 60% necessary to keep it alive. Make everyone go on the record repeatedly to keep shooting wars going. The President can declare an emergency alone, but it only lasts a week, then congress has to approve to keep it going.
