Politicians love tellings us what they’ll do, but what are the things that you wish they’d get off their a$$ and do something about?

    Term limits for SCOTUS and Congress!

    Ranked Choice Voting would help balance the parties out.

    Tax the super rich. They’ve told us to do so, so why aren’t we just doing it?

    Single payer, ending the Palestinian genocide, election integrity, dissolving the DNC and GOP, the entire government firing themselves and not running for re-election.

    Billionaires. They need to be taxed to pay for their externalities, including healthcare and climate change, and poverty too. There’s no way to earn $1B from labor, it must be stolen from the labor of others.

    Election fairness. Ranked choice voting, equal access, federal holiday to vote, overturn citizens united, eliminate electoral college, statehood for all citizens, redraw districts by geography, not demographics.

    Bodily autonomy as a constitutional amendment. Covers abortion, assisted suicide, tattoos, drug use, plastic surgery, vasectomy, and any other voluntary medical procedures.

    Investing in society. Education, healthcare, transportation, grid-scale clean energy storage, environmental health and remediation.

    Others have made long lists. But really, it boils down to just one thing.

    We need stop growing for growths sake, at the expense of literally everything else.

    We are screwing up the environment, science, technology, education, childhood, health, work, art, communication, transportation, and everything else, just so number can go up.

    Just a few of the things I’d like to see addressed here in the US:

    • Universal healthcare
    • Climate change
    • Income inequality
    • Reproductive rights
    • Electoral reform (use popular vote for president, end gerrymandering)
    • Restore fairness doctrine & regulate social media
    • Stopping the rise of fascism and the far-right
    • Restrict presidential power (no kings/dictators)
    • SCOTUS reform (end lifetime terms)

    They need to outlaw EDDM advertising, cap the price of beer at $5 per 16 oz., and tax the rich like we did in “the golden age of America”, the 50’s, that being 91%.
