Hike?! No, those corporate taxes need to go on a fucking death march until they're seeing new lands in record time. I want these multi trillion dollar companies asking their accountants in panicked voices what a three digit tax percentage even means.
Free birth control should be replaced with -Reproductive rights -Universal Healthcare
Not an American, but if you're ambitious then why ask for redistricting instead of an actual electoral reform? Gerrymandering is only possible because "first past the post" voting is rotten to its core.
I can appreciate the sentiment here, but we need to ground this a bit.
For example: Federal redistricting -> reapportionment. We're a completely different country than when "permanent apportionment" was established nearly 100 years ago. The numbers need to be reasonably weighted for population because "equal representation" is enshrined in our collective conscience.
I disagree. We should have a political group agitating for something twice as radical to make this look tame by comparison
Totally fair. I think instead of disagreeing, a "yes and" approach is necessary. My point here is that OP doesn't really seem to understand the existing mechanics behind especially redistricting, unless this is state specific.
Federal redistricting is controlled by each state independently, and federal election law regulating it will be thrown out by courts everywhere.
Apportionment (calculation of the number of seats allotted to each state) was set in stone by Congress almost 100 years ago, and now means Wyoming has a helluva lot more say per person than CA.
Unless the radical approach is to redraw state boundaries (or e.g. admit Puerto Rico as a state), there isn't a lot that's both functionally possible and more radical than changing the make up of Congress to make voting power per citizen more equal.
I could probably keep going. But those are big ones currently missing.
An election day holiday will do Jack shit.
The goal is to allow people to vote without having to use their (few to none) holiday days
There are already laws that make sure employees are given time off to vote. At least there are in my state, in many other states. A national law would be welcome, and I think more effective than an election holiday.
Holidays don't do that.
Counterproposal:
I am going to make Project 2029 look like a conservative compromise
It already is. Just saying 2029 is instead of right the fuck now
That font is atrocious.
Also, what's "3 month maternity" suppose to mean? You probably don't want people to stop being mothers after three months? "3 months paid maternity leave"
Crackdowns will be resolved.
Why not just dissolve your Union and each state can apply to become Canadian provinces? Except for the ones that originally belonged to Mexico, it would be rude if we didn't offer them right of first refusal
I'd rather go independent or confederate like the EU. Just don't think countries function well past 100 million people
I think you're right. I remember reading at one point that the human brain can't really function on tribes bigger than 200-or-so people
Need some tort reform and executive order overweight.
