Except no one will bother voting for this because the dems are just as bad because they're not giving away free unicorns or something /s

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 6 points 2 months ago

I'm thinking more that no one will vote for the dems, because the dems don't actually try to get any of this through?

If they wanted ANY of this through, they could have done so multiple times the past 10, 20, 50 years, but no. The dems do not want to accomplish this list. It is NOT part of the democrat policies.

Dems aren't for any of that, let alone all of it.

CEO pay should be max 7x (do they honestly work 7x more than their lowest paid?).

And minimum wage should be $25/hour or more (with additional increases based on cost of living a d inflation).

Ranked choice voting is barely better the first past the post. We need approval voting like STAR.

LOL... this is just another moving of the goal post so Americans can continue sitting on their asses for another 3 years while the consequences of their decisions keep burning the world

The problem with taxing billionaires out of existence is that the top 1% income earners in the US make up about 50% of all income tax revenue.

And because they're billionaires they can afford to just move somewhere else.

So if they leave you're left with less than half of your tax revenue, and they just carry on being billionaires somewhere else.

Raising minimum wage won't do shit, just cause more inflation. Deal with the real problem, cap the highest paid employee at 10x the lowest paid employee. CEO wants a million dollar salary, has to pay the grunts 100k first.

I say just tax all churches, not just the big ones.

It's nice and I'm all for most of those with some exceptions, but I don't think I will ever see any of that happen in my short lifetime. Shit's only going to get worse from here on out. America will not survive this. Hell, Yale/Harvard professors of Fascism have left the freaking country cuz they know what's coming....

They forgot privacy rights and surveillance elimination.

Gerrymandering can't be outlawed. It happens all the time and is a powerful tool to help enfranchise people as well as a weapon to disenfranchise them when used incorrectly.

What should happen is take the power to redraw voting districts out of the hands of partisan groups and make a cross-party commission to oversee the process.

So is there a plan? Or just this little feel good poster?

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Excuse me, this AI generated feel good poster!

Someone is whispering a call to action into a void.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You think you're getting another election?

[-] leadore@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Shouldn't that be "Project 2029"? That's when a new president would take office.

Billionaires will orchestrate a war (they have the power) before their agenda is threatened
