What's one thing you support from this platform? Oppose? Need details? Which issue can MAGA & Dems agree on? Which is realistic? Fantasy?

1. Overturn Citizens United.
No; it was decided correctly because it's about free speech rights for groups of individuals.

2. Codify Women's Right to Choose.
Yes, but you will need a constitutional amendment for that and have it be more broadly based so men have something at stake to gain from it. Otherwise, it will not pass in the necessary number of states.

3. Term Limits for SCOTUS.
I am against that. I'd recommend a minimum age: 55.
Regardless, without a constitutional amendment, this will not happen.

4. Get Rid of Electoral College.
While, personally, I don't care for it, I understand why it exists and have no problem with that. In short, the US is two democracies in one; one of the people and one of the states. The House members represent the people in the Legislative Branch. The Senators represent the states in that branch. This is why 1) every state has an equal number of Senators and 2) that fact is the one thing in the US Constitution that is explicitly immune to the amendment process. What should occur is a repeal of the Reapportionment Act of 1929 and perhaps a replacement so that the voices of people as voters are more equitable. Long mathematical story there.

5. Outlaw Gerrymandering Nationwide.
This is effectively impossible.

6. Return Fairness Doctrine in Media.
I suspect I'd be for this, but not sure.

7. Universal Healthcare for ALL.
Yes, of course.

8. Ban Stock Trading While in Congress.
This should happen in all of government. Indeed, I'd recomment converting any stocks into US Treasury securities while in office.

9. Cap Congress Salary at 1.5x Median Income of Their District.
No, of course not. That's embarrassing that that was even suggested.

10. Tax Billionaires Out of Existence.
No, of course not.

11. Tax Unrealized Gains Used as Loan Collateral.
I don't know enough about this to make an informed opinion.

12. Tax Mega-Churches.
No, you tax individuals based on their income. Taxing a church (or any religious entity) at any level is really taxing a philospohy which is a form of speech suppression. This is why churches are not taxed. However, a church violating the rules to be tax-free should then have their tax-free status revoked.
The alternative is everyone pays taxes with no recognition of tax-free status for any group whatsoever. I'd prefer that.

13. Increase Federal Minimum Wage to $20/hr.
Increase it to $30/hr.

I forgot to mention something about the Electoral College...

The Presidency (and Vice-Presidency) is the only electable Federal office which involves both people- and state-democracies. So, as such, the EC was created as a way to combine the two votes of those two democracies.

The problem is that, in small populated states, their votes have far more per capita electoral college weight than those in large populated states. That needs to change to become more equitable.

[abc3643]

I need to clarify...

The problem is that, in small populated states, the votes of the citizens of those states have far more per capita electoral college weight than the electoral college weight of citizens in large populated states. That needs to change to become more equitable.

[OneViewpoint]

Sign me up for the entire platform. But I'd tax ALL churches, Mosques, and Synagogues. Leave any crack and religion will seep back in like water in a flood.

I'd also load up the IRS, CFPB, SEC, and FTC (antitrust) with resources, people and technology, to focus on White Collar crime.

I'd go after the tax code.

• End favorable tax rates for Capital Gains.
• End favorable tax rates for Carried Interest (private Equity and hedge Funds)
• End tax loss carry forward for corporations and billionaires.
• End offshore tax havens for profits and asses taxes in arrears with penalties.

I'd create a task force to address legislation to create sensible controls for the use of AI including legal liability for the misuse of "autonomous" technology.

I'd look to cut our defense spending by 75% to something like $250 billion.

[DrPepper12]

I'd vote for you!!!

[dustybiker2]

"That's a woke poster."

Not enough hate, cheating or bullying... for the last 38% still believing trump tells the truth.
Speaking of which.
Gavin's people have a talent for mocking trumps unhinged rambling social media posts, only he still manages to sound sane.

[DrPepper12]

Yes they do... Spittin 🔥🔥🔥

[Anonymous]

Ban stock trading while in Congress.

Sorry Nancy.

[Anonymous]

First let’s start off with what Left and Right can agree on :

Banning Stock Trading From Govt In General / Insider Trading.

Outlaw Gerrymandering And Corrupt Maps To Swing Elections Towards Left / Right.

Return Fairness Doctrine In Media.

Cap Congress Salary.

Tax Billionaires (Reasonable Tax, not taxing them out of existence).

Increase Minimum Wage Above $20/hr since we haven’t increased wages to meet natural inflation in decades.

Tax Mega Churches (and Remove Taxes from Smaller Local Churches. )

I think this is already a good platform, only issue is mainstream media will make us at eachother’s throats over issues that literally don’t matter in the grand scheme which will shake things up. This should be the Democratic and in a perfect world Republican platform too, I know 300 million Americans support these ideals, it is the media that clogs their minds.

[DrPepper12]

Well put

[Danzigdawson]

Nice! All of the above is what's needed to repair the damage done by decades of conservative mismanagement!

Especially tax the billionaires out of existence, universal healthcare for all, codify women's right to choose, get rid of the electoral college and tax mega-churches But is this an actual platform or just a meme?

Deal with it.

[DrPepper12]

Meme but damn good policies

[Avicenna]

Banning stock trading while in Congress is the only one I could see definitely getting bipartisan support.

As I have told your colleague goaded, you can’t simply ban gerrymandering at the federal level due to federalism, and, furthermore, putatively independent commissions really aren’t when it comes redrawing districts.

The other items are all leftist wish list stuff, with many just being there with the goal of creating one-party rule by Democrats.

As for „universal healthcare“, that will never fly when there are tens of millions of illegals in the country who would have free healthcare.

[DrPepper12]

Sure Jan

[D_Bone_Steak]

The other side won didn't they? No reason for this sort of compromise during your reign so fuck you. That's what's happening... the pendulum is just swinging. ... and my dick is just as hard to fuck the losers. Trumps people are winning,,, so... where should my dick go?

I'm joking though and don't even really have a boner right now. But if I did... that asshole lubed up or what?

Now onto what I really think... you need to start thinking and so does that party. This shit is pathetic and you and I both know it. You can't just blindly follow shit because this happens. They lead to trash and those republicans did the same but it switched again... wake up.

[FunkyMonkee]

The entire idea oof such a "project" is a complete fantasy that you've made up just like the supposed 2025 version. IT DOESN'T EXIST!!
As for taking the damned country back what the fuck do you think we've been TRYING TO DO for the past 20 or 30 years? You fucking asshole dems nearly completely destroyed the country!!! If it hadn't been for us, there'd BE NO AMERICA, ANYMORE!!! If you REALY, HONESTLY love this country as much as you like to imagine and claim you do, you should ALL be standing in VERY LONG lines to kiss our fucking asses for saving from your destructive ways!!!

[Dongie]

Here, here! 👏👏👏

[exitseven]

I support returning the Fairness Doctrine to the media.

The rest of this stuff is ridiculous. President Trump would not agree to any of this nonsense, It is fantasy to think that democrats will be winning anything anytime soon.

[DonaldDarko]

There are two things I support. Abortion rights, ban stock trading while in congress. The rest of it is totalitarian in nature it supports censorship and often disrespects property rights. A lot of it is right out of Karl Marx. This only goes to show that the left have no business calling people Nazis.

[Smegskull]

For what it's worth because I am not American.
Gerry mandering and stock trading.
The rest sound either underdefined or unjust.

[DrPepper12]

TY good. Points

[Twalli]

We don't need term limits for SCOTUS. There are safeguards in place yo keep them impartial. They aren't enforced, but they exist.
Keep electoral college, but change it. Make it proportional. You don't get all electoral votes of a state if you win it 51% to 49%. You get a bit over half.

[Twalli]

There's more, but I'm on my phone.

[Twalli]

Gerrymandering isn't bad, perse. Sometimes it works because it can merge people who have similar life situations together so they can vote on a person they feel can represent them the best. However, gerrymandering that is politically motivated should be outlawed. We need an independent agency to gerrymander districts, and they need a good understanding of seriocomic situations.

[Twalli]

Universal healthcare was in vogue under Richard Nixon and LBJ, nobody did much to influence it, because it was considered a foregone conclusion.
Banning congress from stock trading won't work, they'll just have their spouse do it.
I think billionaires (self-made) should be able to enjoy their wealth.
Putting a floor on minimum wage is not a good plan. We need it to increase as the price of living increases. So, increase it to the level we decide it on, but tie it to the CPI, so as the price for living increases, it also does.

[AviatorTom]

None of the things listed. I fully support term limits for Congress, both the House and the Senate. 50-year career politicians is something the Founding Fathers would never have wanted.

[DrPepper12]

Ok why opposed?

[Dongie]

We could agree and come together on the fact the dirty democrat politicians are all prison worthy along with a good number of rino Republicans as well!

[DrPepper12]

Sir this is a Wendy's... Please read the post beforehand

[Snakeyes7]

"Taking back the country?" How nationalistic of you. It also implies that you had all of these policies in the first place. Aside from the fact that I think a lot of these would be a massive mistake to implement.

[Anonymous]

I'm not from USA, so I don't have to worry about that...

[seeyounexttuesday]

This is what you lunatics are going to run on? Good fuckin luck.

[DrPepper12]

Why? Splain Lucy!

[seeyounexttuesday]

What does “tax billionaires out of existence” mean to you?

[seeyounexttuesday]

You’re wanting to tax unrealized gains? Do you realize how fucking stupid that sounds?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Women shouldn’t kill their unborn children. Period. It’s not a “right”

[Avicenna]

Leftists say they want to tax billionaires out of existence, but when the dark and other money starts showing up, the Democrats find other talking points.

[loveslongnails]

There is nothing on that list that both sides will agree on.

[shortster]

Ban stock trading in Congress, everything else I am opposed to whole heartedly.

[DrPepper12]

Is that realistic?

Why opposed to one/some?

[shortster]

Realistic, yes; a good idea, nope. Most of them will be terrible decisions.

[Anonymous]

I like a few of those, like banning gerrymandering and stock trading for Congressman. Taxing mega churches violates separation of Church and State though. And it would also crush some churches, leaving a spiritual void in some people's life.

[Amy10223]

Outlaw Gerrymandering.

[DrPepper12]

Is it realistic?

[Miristheiss]

Oppose most of those.

[DrPepper12]

Ok why?

[Dargil]

Can't think of anything.
