Hang every person on the Epstein list.
Abolish lobbying and any level of secrecy for politicians
Reclaim all private property owned by anyone with more than 5 million dollars and fairly redistribute it.
Disband the CIA.
Make all documents in the government public record.
Write a new constitution listing all possible ways the government could be exploited to be reviewed anually with lifetime Incarnation and labor for violations and compounding punishment for each individual involved.

I know it’ll never happen, but I’d like to add 7. All presidents will be forced to live at the poverty level after their term is over for the rest of their life. No rich friends, no stocks or businesses.

We’d get UBI real quick after that.

  All politicians and supreme court judges, not just presidents ideally.

    I was going to say that, but I felt it was at least slightly plausible that we might make one guy a sacrificial lamb, rather than most of the elected officials.

3 while your heart is in the right place would cause so much harm to innocent people that frankly you might as well just fucking start beating people with a bat at random. You would do less harm.

5m is NOT a lot of money depending on how you cut it. Hell my family has roughly 6.3 million because of the house we all live in and have lived in for 100 years. Because it was built by my great grandfather and maintained and expanded by every generation.

Most of my family is currently loving pay check to pay check. And the rest only barely better then that. Taking away private property just based on a random amount of money owned is unreason, fucked up, and WILL get people killed due to how hard that can and will destabilize entire families.

4 is flat out retarded. Every country on fucking earth has a international division of their government. Your actively a dipshit that understands nothing if you think that’s remotely a reasonable let alone even a good idea.

Better oversight? Sure, disband? Actually a bleach drinking take.

For sure everyone in that list should get mandatory 5 years for just being on the list. More if there’s other instances.

For sure, lobbyists need to be gone period.

I don’t honestly think you could rewrite the Constitution and have it be impartial in the slightest. Maybe if you pulled 100+ random Americans and put them in a room for a year with no outside contact. There’s no politician that isn’t bought already that should do it.

Oh, a revolution!

I like the energy but historically it usually gets way worse… the killing never seem to end, and if you get a death/life sentence nobody would want to be a politician. That’s a known problem.

What about putting the power in the hands of everyday people? Like representative democracy?
