Codify Roe

Enact nationwide RCV at all levels of elections (anyone who is going to argue they can’t, if Trump can destroy things you thought couldn’t be destroyed, we can do the opposite)

SCOTUS term limits and packing (expand it from 1 court to multiple courts, have each case only seen by 1 court, split the incumbent fascists across the multiple courts so their extremist views only ever amount to a minority dissent)

Pardon all non-violent drug offenders at every level of incarceration (play hardball with state officials who don’t cooperate)

Mandate all government buildings get their power 100% from renewables

how about we quit dancing around those territories that should be states like washingtondc and puerto rico

I feel a little weird about being your dancing monkey in this but sure

The platform is a pretty good start; there’s a lot in there about economic inequality and working on climate change which are two key priorities.

Most urgent things I would add to that:

• Peacekeeping in Israel + Palestine backed up by force of US troops and/or UN peacekeepers. Y’all (meaning Israel) have had your chance at running things and you failed. Be thankful you’re not in the dock in the Hague, now get the fuck out of Gaza; we start shooting in 6 hours if you’re still here
• Attempts to tamper with the ability of people to vote, or for their vote to count like it’s supposed to (meaning having an impact in an unbiased and reasonable fashion), is a felony. Doesn’t matter if you were a guy with a gun outside a drop box, a congressperson trying to pass a law, or a Supreme Court justice.
• Speaking of which, there are some justices we should be impeaching. If we win enough of congress we can put them on trial at least; we may not be able to remove them but fuckin’ hassle them. Absolutely nonstop. Make it a priority to make people’s lives miserable if they’re trying to destroy democracy. That is a dead serious statement.
• Use the pre-Thatcher British solution for high rents: The government buys up a huge amount of property, rents it out at reasonable rates, which pierces the bubble so the rates from private landlords have to reduce also to stay competitive.

There are some other big things but that all is the most urgent I think. Even that is a pretty fuckin big list to be able to do.

Maybe something about internet propaganda, but I honestly don’t see a real clear government-involved solution to that that I have any confidence in, is the only reason it’s not on the list.

Single payer health care.

It sure would be nice if we got some trains and other practical solutions to carbon emissions

Single payer healthcare.

Criminal justice reform (e.g., reform rather than punishment).

Overturning the NFA of 1934 and the GCA, strengthening the PLCAA.

Wealth taxes.

Returning the marginal tax rates to pre-1970 levels.

Eliminating SS tax caps.

Seriously address climate change.

Unwinding all book bans.

Enshrining reproductive rights in the constitution.

The god damned SCOTUS needs deep and meaningful reforms.

Increase protections for Trans people

My wishlist is basically:

• Tackle corporate overreach and monopolization both via urging strong legislation in Congress and utilizing existing Federal agencies regulatory power. Break monopolies, ensure fair practices, place regulations on data harvesting/usage, and protect consumers wherever possible.

• Support labor groups and rights. Crack down on union busting, non-competitive contracts, and companies dodging treating employees as actual employees.

• Continue developing a strong infrastructural base. Expand development of developing fields such as dynamic power grids, support growth of more efficient transportation mechanisms such as railroads, and push states to catch up on or begin much needed infrastructural overhauls.

• Reinforce US support for overseas allies against the major threats they are facing, including both military and economic collaboration. Support strong region collaborative alliances. The US should be a leader in protecting the free and democratic nations against the very real threats they now face.

Sorry if that’s a little too vague. Or too specific. It could probably be rendered down to something like “tackle corporate power, support labor, build infrastructure, support allies”.

This is a little one, but: fix the post office.

Trump got a bug up his butt about mail-in ballots, so he put a postmaster general in place with a mission to destroy it. He pretty much has: the service is slower, more expensive, and less reliable than it used to be.

Biden was either unable or unwilling to remove him, but his term is about to end. Kamala will have an opportunity to put someone good in place who can rebuild what has been destroyed.

Better fire management of national parks. Time to start doing controlled burns.

Rent caps, ownership of property caps (it should be illegal to make a business off owning so many homes and raising the price to the point that most can’t afford a home as its a basic need just like water). Taxing the ever living shit out of the rich. Better funding for public schools and actually holding superintendents accountable for their actions and capping their pay based off of average pay of the other staff such as teachers/custodians/IT/maintenance in public schools. Price of groceries, then if theirs time price of almost everything else after COVID. It’s not a free market it’s controlled by the rich so control it back at this point.

#1: wealth inequality
#2: climate change/environmental conservation

Other high priorities: bodily autonomy/abortion, police and prison reform (yeah, I know, never going to happen), strengthening voting rights and democratic institutions, replacement of aging infrastructure, support for Ukraine, SCOTUS reform, universal healthcare

Fix the fucking election system… No more gerrymandering, money out, make voting day a holiday, make mail in easy, zero bullshit restrictions making voting harder, ranked choice, no electoral college, get a handle on primaries too

Tax the rich & corporations based on their income, remove 90% of the tax deductions they can take. Make all businesses that do business in US borders pay taxes, no exceptions, even if they are located in another country. Regulate internet & cell providers like public utilities. Create strict privacy laws for all citizens. We are not a product to be exploited. Pass Human Rights laws for all Americans. Change the law to provide/allow personal banking from the central bank/Federal Reserve. Fix the USPS retirement funding requirement to allow a profit and growth of services. Tax churches. They are not ‘providing support to the community’ any longer. They are a business.
