"Stay positive," I've been told. Okay, here goes: I am positive America must get rid of right-wing nut-job greed-goon treason-weasels. I am positive America must return to decency, and here's a list for us to get started...

I am always amazed that women’s bodily freedom always is like third on people’s list. 👍 Good list, but let’s put bodily freedoms at the top.

It’s hard to get rid of the Electoral College, because it’s in the Constitution, but there is a fix that can be done. The electors should not be winner-take-all by state. (In fact, they are plurality-take-all in 48 states.) That’s what actually distorts the outcome the most. That can be fixed.

Restore the Fairness doctrine ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairnes...), maybe make it a law. Have the Inspector General's office nonpartisan and can not be removed by the president.

You're probably right. I think freedom of speech, is speech that isn't paid for. Stand on a street corner and say whatever you want. But if you pay or are paid to reach an audience of say more than a 1000, then inflammatory rhetoric should have consequences.

Why was the First Amendment written? Did the authors anticipate the sources of misinformation and outright lying? Did the authors forsee the reach of free speech? Are foreign entities afforded the same freedom in their own country? Foreign powers use our free speech against us over the internet

Do you honestly believe that if FNC were re-branded "Fox Cable" or "Fox Information" or "Fox Politics", all of a sudden, the people watching it would go "Wow! It's not news at all! I better turn to CNN, it still has 'news' in it! But not MSNBC, it doesn't!"?

If Americans don’t learn the thousands of years of world history, and keep calling people not as “people” but as “Americans”, we’d only have a 200 years of memories to learn from, not 8000 years, meaning to repeat every mistake that’s avoidable.

The problem was necessarily the electoral collage although the EC has outlived its usefulness. It was devised when we still had the piney express and it took time to get the vote counted. It did move to distribute a fair voting system that was destroyed by gerrymandering of republicans. 🤔🤨🦅
