So we’re finally starting over? FUCKING YES! I’ll start drawing up some founding documents/spitballing ideas. So, obviously we’ve got full equality and non-discrimination protections. Direct elections is super obvious. No more middleman bs. Voter registration is automatic at 18. Cannot be voided, only to be temporarily suspended during rehabilitation for felony charges and then immediately reinstated after time served. Gonna need y’alls input. How do you feel about death penalty? Yay or nay? I’m not 100% sure, while I’ll admit there is some catharsis in thinking about killing our oppressors after usurping power I don’t think it’d be a good image to maintain if we want outside support. We really need the image of being the good guys. Especially if we want outside support from other nations. Oh! On that note no more for profit prisons (we’ll word it better in another draft, don’t worry). Records for non violent drug offenders should definitely be expunged. We should provide rehab to addicts and get dealers on a more legitimate path. Decriminalization of drugs is a good start. We can work out each drug on an individual level later. Okay, so mandatory gun buyback program. Yep, we’re taking all the guns but they’re getting their money back. Civilians and police can no longer have firearms. Only military personnel can have guns but even then they don’t own the guns. They’re restricted for use in deployment and on base. (This also helps prevent us from getting usurped while we’re still getting our footing) No more gypsy cops. If a cop gets fired they can’t be a cop again. Anywhere, Also any sitting republicans or anyone currently running on a republican ticket is banned from any elected office for life. Bunch of crooks, racists, and rapists, the lot of them. We’ll take a look at the dems on a case by case. Also we’re cutting the military budget. People are still employed, we’re just not spending so much on weapons we use to kill innocent brown people across an entire ocean. We’re gonna be deploying more ambassadors to embassies. Any issue we can solve through diplomacy should be resolved through diplomacy. No more lifetime positions (looking at you Supreme Court). We’ll work out how long later. Politicians can no longer take money from special interest groups/lobbyists that act of behalf of large corporations. (I also recommend rounding up any politicians who have taken this kind of money and charging them with treason for acting against the good of the people. Especially ones who took money from oil, plastics, vitamins, and opioids). Oh! Speaking of vitamins. FDA should get more power and funding right? While we’re at it the IRS could probably use a buff. We should also fix the tax brackets. We can work out exact numbers later but for now we can get estimates on each end of the spectrum. 15k or less is no taxes (based on current situation, obviously subject to change), 250k or more about 60%? Hot take: net income can never exceed 400k/year. Anything past that line is forfeit to tax. This prevents an absurd wealth gap the level we see now from happening again and gives us more funding. We can talk about wages once we see the stability of the dollar after the fact. And can someone who understands the strength of a country’s currency come in here and explain how a coup would effect the value compared to other currencies? That’ll help us predict what we need wages to be and adjust values for tax brackets. Also individuals can no longer have bank accounts overseas. We don’t want people stashing money to avoid taxes. Same goes for companies unless they have a branch that actually operates in that country. No shell company bs. No more charter schools. Public funding gets misused too often. We’ll just work on fixing the public school systems. Someone who knows more than me about how to go about that please do chime in. Universal Healthcare, UBI, basics for living (healthy foods, housing, water, electricity, basic clothings, internet) all covered on our new government’s dime, right? Net neutrality will no longer be contestable. We’re gonna be installing fiber as well, we want connectivity much closer to that of Seoul, South Korea. For a roughly similar price. So. Infrastructure. I don’t know about you but I hate driving. We need to revoke a lot of licenses, drastically raise the bar for getting a license, and beef up public transport. We should also break up this having to go through an auto dealership bullshit and let automotive manufacturers sell directly to consumers. Gas tax is getting raised too. More funding for infrastructure and public transport. Yay! Speaking of fossil fuels we should really ramp up renewable energy efforts. Please give your input so we can keep revising and adding to this. The longer the current administration keeps up its bullshit the more I feel conflict looming over the horizon. If we win I’d like to be prepared for rebuilding and making things better. The United States has never been the bastion of hope it claimed to be. Let’s make it one.
