Electoral Politics

The following are changes I would like to see implemented in reference to Electoral Politics in the United States That said, these are in no particular order and some that may not be possible until one or more of the others has been codified into law.

1. Ranked Choice Voting which sometimes goes by the Fair Representation Act

2. Abolish H.R. 1 - which in summary is a disgusting anti democratic poison pill in SEC. 5202. This changes the eligibility requirements for matching payments which is meant to drive minor parties off ballot, preserving the corporate duopoly status.

3. Make each voting day a paid holiday and give voters notice a month prior with easy vote by mail options. Additionally, results of the election whether its local or federal would NOT be finalized until ALL vote by mail ballots have been counted.

4. Abolish The Electoral College

5. Get money out of politics by:

Abolishing PACS and Super PACS.
Have the US government fund any political candidate, regardless of party to run for Senate, President, Governor, etc.
Abolish the concept of lobbyists and make all corporate influence in politics illegal.

The United States can be considered the following: an oligarchy, a corporatocracy, an inverted totalitarianism system, a gerontocracy, a kakistocracy, a kleptocracy, and/or a techno feudalist society. But It is not a democracy, nor is it a republic.

6. Ensure that voting machines are up to date and cannot be hacked because as much as I would like to completely ban voting machines with millions of people around the country, it's unfortunately just not practical. With that being said, it is my view that the code for the voting machines must be made public and for the votes both digital and paper to be counted LIVE in front of the whole world on TV and for free on every streaming platform.

7. The Abolishment of the Commission on Presidential Debates ruling that requires candidates to garner at least 15% support across 5 national polls.

8. Single Issue Bills no longer than 10 pages each. Fighting for this has its pros and cons. On one hand, it would make reading bills faster and easier vs the bills we have no that are thousands of pages long, and prevent our government from hiding nefarious things within them. The downside is that because each bill is single issue, it may take longer for things to pass.

9. A mandatory change to include ballot initiatives, for both federal and local elections whenever one is proposed, with a clear explanation of what would happen if it were to pass or fail. In addition to this, we must make implement Citizen Ballot Initiatives in order to democratically kick out corrupt politicians at the local level.

10. During elections, provide each and every polling location with a free, fast and secure wi-fi internet connection so voters can research candidates and make an informed decision.

11. Each candidate would be legally required to debate their opponents from all parties, regardless if it's local or federal. Moreover, when it comes to debate moderators, the ideal situation would be to have one that is neutral and not appointed by a company, government, or organization. Furthermore, each candidate needs to have proper time to rebuke their opponent, 10, 30 and 60 seconds here and there is NOT enough - there should be a maximum of 5 min per response.

12. Support congressional bill H.R. 4000

13. Include all political parties who are running on the ballots both on the federal and local level. Moreover, it needs to be illegal to hide information about 3rd party candidates from the public by not airing ads and/or airing them at odd hours, not allowing fliers to be sent out on-mass, etc.

14. Abolish gerrymandering for its racist and unconstitutional abuse that essentially allows politicians to cheat in elections by redrawing lines.

15. Give the emoluments clause more teeth to prosecute any political figure for violating it, regardless of their position.

16. Abolish Insider Trading - In my opinion, we must make congressional insider trading illegal. If a member is caught insider trading their actions MUST be reported to the public, followed by their termination and imprisonment of at least 10 years with no bail or parole possible.

It's obvious that the Republican party in the United States is fascistic and doesn't care about the people, but the democratic party isn't any better. Both parties are corrupt, complicit, and subservient to the evils of capitalism with everything that entail. The democratic party and their supporters, as well as the DSA, PSL, and other reformist/Trotskyist organizations and individuals, are NOT leftists. “There is only one party in the united states, the property party … and it has two right wings: republican and democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”
