Am I the only one who thinks that IF the US survives this election that things have to change radically?
You can't have a democracy like this when a convicted criminal mobster wannabe can just get enough votes to install himself as a dictator and if he doesn't that he just organizes a deadly insurrection to try and get himself there anyway
The USA needs to get rid of this winner takes all system, it needs to rid itself of this system that requires a president. What it needs is 20-30 political parties that each get a share of the pie and have to work together.
This situation has gotten worse EVERY election since Reagan, last time we had a failed coup, this time we may get a dictatorship, what. The. Fuck.
I'll continue. The supreme court needs to be removed entirely and be replaced with whatever is better. The police forces need to be completely overhauled. Pacs and super PACs need to be illegal immediately, every cent in politics needs to be accounted for. An absolute split between church and state, and while at it, tax churches heavily. Undo all gerrymandering, return taxation to how it was in 1940, updates for current times tomokug loop holes but going up to 100% on income after an x amount per year. Nobody should be able to be a billionaire, hell, nobody should be able to be a 100 millionaire. After a certain amount of wealth, that's it, you can make more but it all goes to taxes.
Edit: to add to this: news organizations should be government funded through a neutral third party. Nobody wants to pay for Jews anymore but we desperately need it. So let's make sure it's funded and out laws (back) in place requiring journalists to be neutral and honest. Fox News style ~~"news"~~ bullshit should never be allowed. Opinions is fine, as long as that's what it is clearly called and labeled as. If a news organization obviously focusses on one type of politics, out you go. Also, break the 24 hour news cycle. We don't need news 24 hours a day, as it inevitably leads to a numbers game which leads to news organizations to just publish clicks for money, which leads to news about how there is crime like there is no tomorrow while reality it's the other way around. News should be informing people, stop the misinformation.
Another add: schools should be required to teach about voting, how to vote and why it's important. Just, obviously, not what to vote. Right now so many people vote for person X because "he seems such a sweet man, I'd love to have him over for dinner!" With that, don't allow political parties to use slogans, as it dumbs everything down to stoopid.
Just a few things to start with...
