(7,794 posts)It's time to move the chairs to the walls and make room for a 75%+ majority in both houses. Enough support to unclog the legislative process. Make unforgettable the stinking mess created by the minority party, for a few cycles at least.
To do real things:
>Outlaw gerrymandering.
>Eliminate the electoral college.
>Federally codify all aspects of the voting process.
>Make filling vacancies in the USSC an accountable process.
>Protect and expand SS and mandate universal single payer healthcare.
>Codify immigration legislation based on facts.
>Reverse the USSC's anti-people rulings.
>Full statehood for US territories and protectorates.
