I'm not sure that th U.S. can regain the trust of our allies [View all]

Even if we sweep in 2026 and 2028. We've all been down this road before:

- After the stability, prosperity, and peace that we had with the Clinton Administration, we let GW Bush bring us a costly and immoral war and later a financial crisis brought about by GOP deregulation.

- So we managed to re-take Congress and put President Obama in the White House.

- After turning the economy around and once again bringing peace and prosperity, the voters again put the GOP in charge of Congressional obstruction and put Kommander Krasnov in the White House, because "Her Emails".

- After 4 years of incompetence , corruption, and economic disaster, we elected Biden, and once again, a Democratic Administration defied predictions and turned things around leaving us with the best economy in the world.

- But again, voters with the memory capacity of a maggot, returned that thing to the White House along with a majority in both houses and a Supreme Court that signaled immunity to a sociopath felon.

So even if we run these criminals and traitors out again, we have PROVEN that by the next election cycle, the voters will screw themselves and everybody else, for the most moronic reasons conceivable.

Rinse, lather, repeat. YOU can count on the billionaires, the GOP, and the media to use the same playbook.

We don't just have to win, we have to win big. And it is not enough to just fix what the GOP has broken, but repair our democracy.

1- End Legalized Bribery. Target "Citizens-United"
2- Support reproductive rights
3- Place some reasonable restrictions of Presidential Pardons
4- Prosecute white-collar criminals. Enforce insider trading laws. Ban stock trades while in office.
5 - Investigate and shine a bright light the on influence that hostile foreign governments have on elected officials.
6- Enforce anti-trust laws and make them stronger - especially addressing the media monopolies
7- Remove barriers to voting. Expand election day to election week so that working people can fit it into their schedule. If a state is going mandate photo-ID, remove any costs associated and make it practical and convenient.
8- The Supreme Court should have the highest ethical standards. Pass and enforce ethical standards for the Supreme Court. Remove Justices that do not uphold the Constitution or fail to recuse themselves from cases with even the appearance conflicts of interest
9- Restore the Fairness Doctrine and protect Net Neutrality. Nurture independent media.

There's a lot more - feel free to add. I'm not really interested in "We'll never have the votes" excuses and replies.

Edit:
I might as well add:
10- Replace the Electoral College with direct popular vote
11- End gerrymandering of House Seats. Add new seats the the House.
12- Make the Senate more representative of a stats's population - maybe a minimum of one and up to four Seantors.
