What could Americans do to make a better country?

What is at the top of your list?

Root out the Republican party. The world would be better off.
Slade · 56-60, M
@Crazywaterspring ah to be born without a brain...
Bad4U · 22-25, F
limit terms for all politicans... senators, mayors, judges... literally anyone.. to two terms
@Bad4U Not sure that's the answer, some politicians have learned it doesnt matter what we do as long as we can sway? (then have a nice rich position after)
Changeisgonnacome · 61-69, F
@Bad4U but the New Deal reforms were brought by a three term president who did what the voters wanted because he faced reelection.

@Changeisgonnacome precisely ... we don't want a president-for-life like Putin, but we don't want to lose someone like FDR after just two terms either, and just have the pendulum do its regularly scheduled swing back to the right (because the way most of the US electorate votes makes no sense ... it's like watching some bizarre tennis match ... back and forth ... back and forth ...)

I think that ship sailed already. America is going to be a depressing dangerous place to live for some decades now. Get your family into a lifeboat and find someplace else.😷
@whowasthatmaskedman
sadly, I agree.

Get rid of Biden
Get rid of Biden first and foremost.
RedBaron · M
@WhisperingAngel That would be second. Getting rid of Trump was first and foremost.
@WhisperingAngel I was unaware that it was Joe Biden who was in the pocket of the gun lobbyists and the oil companies. Thank you for educating me.

Send the Trumpublicans to Russia where they'd feel more at home?

Eliminate lobbyists, make all campaign finance 100 percent transparent
@AbbySvenz
Maybe we should force corporations to donate matching amounts to both parties..
Open matching donations to the third party that receives the most votes in the prior cycle.
Limit corporate donations to a flat maximum.. regardless of how the funds are made available.

There is to much corporate money in politics..

Make the representatives wear patches, like they do on NASCAR @Onestarlitnight

2 years mandatory military service after high school. Would straighten out a mountain of misfits

America doesn't seem like a single nation, nobody can agree on anything. Maybe everyone would be happier if it became 3-5 smaller countries?
I was going to say start paying people fairly, those companies who can afford it. I don't think raising minimum wage is the answer. That's just a guideline and companies will just raise their prices to compensate. This is an expensive world or country. Health insurance and housing is expensive, outrageous. People can't afford it and have to live like shit.

Repent! and read our Bibles.

@Carazaa Can I wait for the audiobook?😷

Vote in those who WILL change things. March, protest, donate, run in local politics. Everything I can.

Don't waste time trying to turn the minds of the MAGAt's, nothing will change their mind. Reach others that don't pay attention to get out and vote.
Consider your own value system and ACTIVELY seek out political persons who's values and code of ethics best matches your own. Advocate for these people.

Stop fetishising over certain details of an outdated constitution, stop likening things found in every modern progressive country such as decent education and healthcare as 'dangerous communism', then sit back and reflect upon which system is *really* shafting the average citizen.
This of course will never happen because Murica is in the grip of a collective psychosis and not even when the money's run out and every last bullet spent will folk be able to sit down and smell the coffee. They'll still be arguing over which make of pickup was best.

Nothing is going to change here except to become worse and finally a wasteland. I have no sympathy for humans.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@SW-User and as they bathe in the dust of civilization 2 people will come together to argue over whether it was the left or right who caused it.

Chew bubblegum and kick ass...
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
You need to relearn trust.
Changeisgonnacome · 61-69, F
@Changeisgonnacome like I said-. It's about me.
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@Changeisgonnacome It's the heavily armed who are the ones who need to learn to try their fellow countrymen.
Changeisgonnacome · 61-69, F
@ninalanyon no they need to give up the guns. Disarm.
