(20,755 posts)1. Unf*ck the Judiciary: Create a Judicial Review commission of impeccably-credentialed jurists to review all of the appointments during the past TWO administrations, and commence impeachment of those who demonstrably lied about their qualifications during their Senate confirmation hearings.
2. Unf*ck the electoral process: Several actions here, including the enactment of meaningful campaign finance regulations; the end of the Electoral College; a commission to investigate, expose, and reverse vote suppression actions over the past 40 years; and finally, a new Voting Rights Act.
3. Unf*ck the demographics of who votes: Review the 2020 Census, and, if necessary, finance a thorough recount; grant statehood and full representation to the District of Columbia and (if they want it) Puerto Rico (if they don't want it, grant them full independence as a sovereign nation.)
4. Unf*ck the economy: Reform the tax code to tax unearned wealth at the same rate as income, adopt a progressive rate scale for taxation, and tax corporations at the same rate as individuals since they have been adjudicated to be "persons"; implement a major infrastructure spending plan focused on reforming the health care and public health systems and creating updated grids for delivering clean power, communications, and goods transport nationwide.
5. Unf*ck the commons institutions twisted by systemic racism and misogyny: Eliminate DHS, rationalize and demilitarize Federal law enforcement operations, pilot new training and operational models, and offer similar assistance to states and localities; pass the ERA and enact enabling regulatory oversight; enact meaningful Immigration reform systems; and investigate reparatory justice programs for those affected by slavery, racial genocide, and, more recently, immigration atrocities.
6. Unf*ck the future: Create a public education system that will be flexibly with both live and distance learning infrastructures and fully available to all communities; reclaim the commons resources for communication, break up media monopolies and enforce net neutrality; reclaim commons natural resources and repudiate climate-damaging exploitation agreements; rejoin the Paris Accord and set new targets for sustainability, funding research and development of new technologies and reclamation programs.
It would be a start, anyway.
