The community for creating a new US political party, so far our guiding principle is that billionaires are trash, United Health CEO had it coming, The Adjustor is our mascot and our main raison d'etre is to shit on the rich and take back whats rightfully ours.

This topic will be about what policies you feel are important for this new political party. Don’t be afraid to downvote to disagree, but remember: more can be done with discussion, debate, and constructive criticism than downvotes alone.

Not in order, just quickly wrote these out:

  • Supreme Court term limits. Nobody should be above the law
  • More cost-effective public health insurance. Eliminate the middle-men and force big pharma to actually compete instead of robbing patients
  • Repeal citizen's united and force elections to be grassroots funded, no more corpo doners owning candidates and their platform
  • Federal gun control modeled after NY and VT laws with background checks, references required, magazine limits, and laws with real teeth for possessing illegal weapons (assault weapons banned)
  • Free tuition to federally funded secondary education institutions
  • Increase teacher and professor salaries at non-private schools & universities
  • Federal elections all vote by mail and voting required by law enforceable with a tax penalty and audit by IRS
  • end TurboTax and move to IRS version for all taxpayers making under $250K annually
  • Defund the police and use that budget to fund a new department of public responders that handle non-emergency situations
  • Invest in small modular nuclear reactors for base load power on the electric grid
  • Bodily autonomy enshrined in the constitution as an amendment
