Will update if anything else comes up

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.

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

Their own ethics!

Climate change. On our current course, the best case scenario is famine, war, and a really shitty world for billions of people. The worst case scenario is self-perpetuating cycles that wipe out our civilization and maybe humanity.

It’d be cool if those didn’t happen.

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.

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)

Break up monopolies.

Healthcare.

Enforce fairness and ethical journalism.

Regulate social media. (Influencers, advertisements, disinformation.)

Not really issues, but if there are two things I noticed everyone promises during campaigns but nobody delivers on, it’s “I’ll look through classified documents and reveal the truth about aliens” and/or “I’ll remove Daylight Savings Time so it’s the same time all year”.

Seriously, it’s almost a century down the road and nobody by now has done the bipartisan thing of repealing a law about something like our clocks which would take like a moment?

Just basic public education that is not indoctrination and infrastructure that promotes mobility without debt

Universal healthcare

Reproductive rights

Penal system reform

Immigration reform

Recycling and waste reduction

*Election reform and killing off Citizens United would be nice.

Making so an ‘adult disabled since childhood’ can get married to someone who isn’t also an ‘adult disabled since childhood’ without losing all their benefits and ssdi stuff would be nice.

There’s all that other stuff, but that’s important to me.

Maybe also up ssdi amounts. And make Medicare not suck ass.

The environment. That’s really it, everything else is a lower priority to me, because fuck over the world and you have nothing. As far as what might be possible to do with laws and government actions, I would like to see oil taxed like a vice tax, money thrown towards clean energy & transportation and accounting rules changed to include all costs now “externalized”. So if you dump waste in a river, the cost of cleanup falls always entirely on the company that dumped, besides the penalties and jail time, if you are cutting down old trees, the cost is not just the planting of a young tree, but includes cost of time to grow it, but also just that these costs need to be in the prices of goods, as now there is distortion. Clean things should be cheaper not more expensive.

You know I would love to have many things before this but I don’t think we can get anything else meaniingfully done till we squash the current corporate situation. so number one is is not just to get rid of citizens united but enshrine in no uncertain terms in the constitution that rights are guaranteed for living people of the country and all other entities get rights as given by non constitutional law which can never supercede or even be considered on par with the tights of living people. That should followed with massive regulation and getting back to a decently progressive taxation system. That might allow us to then deal with our most pressing issues decently but without it our systems essentially rigged.
