Dude I'm voting for you

Why would a two party system implement ranked choice if everyone is stupid enough to keep voting for them? They're not going to shoot themselves in the foot.

Should also include "tax the church"

No employee, owner, shareholder, investor, contractor, etc. can make more than 50 times the amount of the lowest paid employee, contractor, supplier employee, supplier's supplier employee, etc. (Including all of the foreign slaves).

Tim Cook wants to earn 50M per year? Then all of those Foxconn guys that they need nets to stop from suiciding need to make at least 1M. All of the guys making chips have to make 1M. All of the guys mining coal to produce the electricity have to make 1M.

Income inequality problems would be abated. "Dey took our yobs." would be less of a problem because you would save money by using local labor due to lower shipping costs. Poverty would eventually be eliminated.

Probably communism with extra steps, but maybe it would be less prone to party dictators.

Ranked choice is quite terrible actually, barely better than Plurality (also known as FPTP). The center for election science has a whole article on it here. https://electionscience.github.io/vse-sim/

3-2-1 voting and STAR are the best choices, but the CES actually advocates for approval due to logistics and people getting confused by 321 and star.

How you gonna afford all the social schemes with no tax under $50K? I have "free" healthcare but it's 2% of my taxable income. The taxable brackets start at $18,200 ($11,880 USD) here. You'll need to ensure there is finance for social services else you'll be bringing harm to your society in the form of failed infrastructure.

Mandatory voting I dunno.

The rest are definitely good, I'm thinking just having a whole ass revolution might be easier than getting all this done, and as a bonus would come with additional benefits.

Honestly at this point the only thing you are keeping is the English language.

Making election day a holiday probably won't have the effect you're hoping for.

Best case: Almost everybody goes to work as usual. A few of them get a pay differential for working the holiday.

Worst case: Holiday means holiday. We'll give all bus drivers the day off to vote -- and hope the bus riders live within walking distance of their polling location.

It has no chance of becoming a reality without the help of moderates and liberals who have made it very clear they would rather lose to MAGA than compromise with leftists and progressives.

People have yet to acknowledge the first implications of this. If we believe the numbers of progressives and leftists are growing there will come a time when we begin winning primaries but will lose general elections consistently because moderates and liberals suddenly won't "vote blue no matter who". Which means fascism isn't just a possibility, it's guaranteed.

If moderates and liberals don't make different choices there's nothing we can do.

End qualified immunity for law enforcement!

dunno how you mandate people vote. the rest looks like an ambitious but overall laudable start.

Three the most important things are missing:

• abolish home education;
• mandatory elementary education;
• get rid of multiple-choice tests.

Most of the changes won't matter if people are uneducated or easily misled.

Decommodify housing as well

MANDATORY voting... Let's be real, we have people who are unable to read the candidates' personal statements, you really want them voting?

That'll be used to get President Camacho legislating Mandatory plant watering using Gatorade.

No. You keep treating the symptoms.

Ranked choice voting is clearly a better choice than plurality voting, but if you're not familiar with STAR voting, please check it out:

You have about 25 items too many on this list.

It all starts with the top - proportional representation.

It still amazes me that states have those proposition votea/referenda started by petitions and yet there isn't a movement to get proportional representation on the ballot? Or if there is it seems pretty quiet from outside the US.

Legalize all drugs. Keep prices low(street value) with quality monitoring paid for by tax of product. Any further tax revenue from product to be used for addiction treatment.

Again, replace the senate with proportional representation. Bicameral legislatures work, there's no reason to be rid of the senate. Just give it a purpose beyond "you represent a state". Expand the senate to 600 seats, National votes for party reps, 0.5% threshold to gain a seat, 6 year terms, rotate every two years. Then we'll get actual third parties into office, which will break up the two party strangle hold.
