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?

    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.

    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%.

    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.

    Reforming laws to simply and condense them into Codes again, devolving the power to choose salaries of public workers back to departments, schools and hospitals, getting more hunting licenses to get rid of the excess wild boars we have

    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)

    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.

    Pass proportional representation without a referendum through multiparty support after receiving the result from the citizen’s assembly but nooo the establishment politician want referendums instead that are likely to fail while their buddies in corporate media fearmonger against necessary change and then too many people act like scared sheep and vote against their interests.

    Every issue we face would improve if we had a proper representation in government.
