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?
Just basic public education that is not indoctrination and infrastructure that promotes mobility without debt
public education that is not indoctrination
What jurisdiction are you in?
Their own ethics!
Single payer, ending the Palestinian genocide, election integrity, dissolving the DNC and GOP, the entire government firing themselves and not running for re-election.
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.
Corruption/Lobbying
The war in Palestine
The Supreme Court
Climate Change
Universal healthcare
Congressmen trying to overturn electionsWill update if anything else comes up
Break up monopolies.
Healthcare.
Enforce fairness and ethical journalism.
Regulate social media. (Influencers, advertisements, disinformation.)
- Consumer Rights
- Worker’s Rights
- Universal Healthcare
- Copyright/Intellectual Property Issues
- Make the Internet a Utility
- Give the FTC some teeth i.e more authority so that they can have better chances to stop big acquisitions and monopolies from happening
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.
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
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?
Universal healthcare
Reproductive rights
Penal system reform
Immigration reform
Recycling and waste reduction
*Election reform and killing off Citizens United would be nice.
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.
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.
