Throwing in the towel, claiming the shutdown.

So, what's the path forward, what do we do now how can Democrats come back from this? simply put they have to stop holding on to the old ways, they have to stop holding on to the ACA. Something that was written and developed by the heritage foundation, dubbed Romney Care. Why Obama decided it was a good idea to copy the Republicans. I have no idea; it is beyond me. however, I can tell you it was foolish, short-sided, and stupid. Much needed at the time but never went far enough to fix anything. it was like putting a Band-Aid over a gushing wound.

The future of America, not capitalism?

Well, the first things we have to do is join the ICC and hold our leaders accountable to at the very minimum international law. The second thing we have to do is vote out the gerryocracy, The ones that have created the most corrupt circle jerk between business and government that the world has ever seen. the third thing we have to do is begin to pass new strict definitions for corruption. We have to update the Constitution to include them. Once we accomplish all this, we have to invent a new deal with the American people again reinventing and reinvigorating all of our social net programs cutting out the for-profit corporations that muddy up and take money that could otherwise go towards better funding the safety net programs themselves or paying down the national debt.

Republican Law and order

So, in your adventures today if you happen to come across ICE doing horrible things, Make sure to remind whoever they're doing the horrible things to of their rights. Ensure you bear witness and tape, everything it share it so everybody you can, the tapes will be required when we are forced to hold them accountable for this criminal behavior of “law enforcement”. Remember, what Republican law and order truly looks like. When this is all over, we the American people will have a decision to make on whether we want to continue the sort of criminal police behavior or curtail the powers of police, imagen a better way to provide security while maintaining the simple things like due process, unwarranted search, and no profiling. we have and ensure that they're responding properly to all communities within America. So, my question is, who is it for? Who does this service? Well short of the racism, if you can look past that for just one second. I think we can find one major beneficiary, big tech. Namely the AI companies.

Living in poverty with children

By achieving all of these things we cannot only improve the lives of millions of Americans across the country regardless of location within America, but we can increase the velocity at which our currency circulates within the country allowing us to have an overall healthier economy. Allowing America to continue to lead in the world for decades to come. Our current economy is currently shrinking while only small portions of it continue to grow, namely industries that lack human input or human workers for that matter. as our economy is continue to be dominated by this industry, the American worker continues to be forgotten.

The only way for the American family to thrive, the American economy to continue to be one of the strongest in the world is to invest in social programs. these programs should not be viewed as money being lost, they should be viewed as money being injected into the economy stimulating it. Rather than capitulating to the 1% who just want a slightly better tax break, so they can continue to collect trillions more while Americans struggles. American needs to be returned to the people and removed from the billionaires control. Our billionaire class has become increasingly chaotic, psychopathic, and criminal in nature. This must end and they must be controlled. we should be taxing the billionaire out of existence.

no individual should have more money than any individual countries, The individuals greed should not outweigh the majority of the populations well-being, it is just that simple.

The contract with the American people.

The contract with the American people.

We must be using our constitution as it was intended as a living document and modernize our Constitution. our Constitution as it stated does not account for parties nor the control over the many in the country it allows. Along with removing party and accounting for our human nature to devolve into factions, there is another thing our Constitution does not account for and that is corporations and the ability for corporations to loophole our Constitution. The constitution says nothing it explicitly about them, Because in the 1700s Corporations didn't exist as they do now, yes you could argue there are some companies that where worldwide, but in that day, it was virtually impossible to control and buy up the systems of not only one country but multiple. In those days none of them could foresee a day when individual people people's wealth would outpace the entire GDP of a country. If we fail to modernize our constitution, we will continue to fall to the corporations little bit by little bit as they purchase the country out from underneath us, As they would like to say “legally.” What they fail to realize is that as the Constitution is a power vesting document with rights attached to it, any violation of those rights is a violation of the contract. therefore, making it null and void. Therefore, removing their right to rule. The Constitution in all reality is just contract law; We have allowed the individual branches of government to form in exchange for them protecting, providing for the common good of the American people, not our oppression.

We must never allow them to violate the contract with the American people.

The moderate Democrats War

Only by embracing progressive ideals can the Democratic Party regain its status as a party for the working class person, as the party of FDR; I often hear Democrats say they love FDR. what he did for the country was largely socialist progressive ideals The moderate right-wing democrat will pretend they care. but in reality, all they want to do is force us to follow along with Republicans. in deregulating our government, cutting our social services adding means testing to what's left of them. Only giving tax breaks to the wealthy in some unknown hope that it will trickle down into our pocket. however, this will never be the case.

Only by creating a BIG New Deal with the American people, Can the Democratic Party regain The strength it once wielded.

public internet broadcasting service (PIBS)

By updating our public broadcasting services to the 21st century we can avoid consolidation of power by the corporate media or corporations in general. A lot of time and money has been spent overtly trying to control the narrative within the country. Usually via insane billionaires buying media companies or social media for no apparent reason other than to push their own personal narrative and brainwash the country. We can and must; reinvent, reinvest, and redistribute American public broadcasting abilities. After all, where would all of us be without Bob Ross, And where would he have been without PBS?

Repair of our Branches of Government, the Executive

As The shining city on the hill America has to do better, We cannot be committing war crimes. We must begin to restore the balances between our governments branches, impose the guardrails that were presumed to be there and restore the executive branch to its stated position under the Constitution, removing as many arbitrary concentrated powers as possible and old law. If we can do this, we can restore America to the path of greatness it once walked.

Repair of our Branches of Government, The Supreme Court

on that note we come to our definition of bribery which unfortunately for us means we have to involve Congress in repairing our definitions. We used to have quite strict stringent definitions of bribery and what counted as it, but over the years the supreme Court has slowly eroded that because they're taking bribes to be frank. You can just look back at the reporting of Justice Thomas and others to see that they are actually legitimately taking bribes. the easiest way to avoid allegation of impropriety is just by making the definition so broad that impropriety is almost unperceivable under law. as Americans we have to force Congress to change our definitions of bribery to be some of the strictest in the world. our penalties cannot just be civil; They must be criminal . if you're not afraid of being locked up, one you’re fool, two if you already have been bribed millions of dollars a $10,000 fine is not going stop you in any meaningful way. It simply becomes a cost of doing business.

Decreasing online Child Pornography

Individual people do not deserve to be punished for the technology billionaires love of child pornography. It's their platforms their responsible for it, making sure the tech industry is healed liable is important. Section 230 needs to be amended to include a section stating that any already prohibited activity in the real world should be extended to their online platforms, we already have anti-child pornography laws in place, we already have laws dealing with drugs or whatever else you could come up with. Who and how we punish is extremely important. We don’t need to eliminate section 230; we need to amend it. So that the technology billionaires have to fallow the same laws as the rest of us or be held to the same burden of criminal prosecution the rest of us would face. You would think it would be just a simple matter of going well, this is illegal; so, let’s do something about that problem on our platforms. For big tech, It’s about doing as little as possible on the tech industry side. Otherwise, it’s cuts into profits. Problems like children being exploded and exposed via their privately owned platforms, is this problem too difficult to solve for our geniuses in the tech? besides, one must consider that the real profit is in the sale of your personal data and presenting you with targeted advertisements not hosting your content.

As well this hybrid system would allow us to keep our favorite first across the finish line, vote first to 51%. We need to be adapting to the 21st century if you people don't want to deal with independent candidates. then you have to open up your primary and endorsement process and internal voting to allow as many people as many people as possible the opportunity to participate in the process. Rank choice voting can do just that because that is what we want as a democracy, as many people participating as possible, We do not want these smoke-filled backroom dick sucking contests. That has led to the entrenchment of politicians. People shouldn't go to work in Congress to die there, They should go to work in Congress to make the country a better place attempt there Ideas and move on.

Universal Education Program tuition-free Pre-K to College

If at some point in our history our forefathers had not envisioned public education and went about trying to execute such an irrational idea as educating every individual in America. Most of us wouldn't be sitting here reading this, their success is a testament to America's willingness to do better by its people. The sheer audacity America brings to the table is America's strength, by being outlandish and investing in our children earlier with universal Pre-K, than maintaining that investment longer into the college level. We can produce a better educated workforce, a better educated population, and a better future for our children. American should not just be happy with the education system they have now. We should be attempting to improve it, I don't think the status quo is ever good enough, there's always room for improvement in a manufacturing setting I would call it continuous improvement. anybody that will tell you we should go back to the old systems; It was fine the way it was. Well, they didn't actually have any contact with the system or if they did it was so long ago that it was actually an okay system.
