VOTING is the mechanism by which we legitimize the existence of our government. The systems we build and use to handle our elections must be transparent and honest. [ideas]

EARTH is the only home we have, this planet and its environment, a fragile balance of life we find ourselves the stewards of. At a basic level, if we want clean air and water, we need to think hard about the amount of pollution we currently and historically have put into both and stop as best we can. We must push for better ways to harness the energy that has always fueled life on this planet, the Sun. [ideas]

HEALTHCARE is a human right. [policy] If a democratic government stands for any purpose, it is to push for the well-being of its citizens. Therefore, a government should prioritize healthcare and education for its people if capable. Public EDUCATION is an investment in the future of our species. [As a nation, we should support the education of our children, neighbors, and friends.]

WORKER RIGHTS are human rights. If you work full-time hours, you should be making, at the very least, a living wage in the city you work. [ideas on subject/economy]

Fellow Americans, our foreign policy as a nation should support Democracy worldwide as a means by which we ensure liberty for all. If we want to be a pillar of democratic light on this planet, we must act like it. [ideas]

In the United States, our government and its enforcers, the Police, serve at the public's will. Their powers and function as law enforcers depend on public approval and respect. Our Police are not above the law. When they murder, use excessive force, or generally infringe on civil liberties, they should be stripped of their immunities and be open to prosecution. [policy ideas]

We're sharing this rock with the universe's only known examples of life. Let's value that reality and move together into the future with an eye for who we want to become. Let's move forward in the pursuit of our better selves. [Space and Beyond]

The United States currently has a two-party system. Of course, the current parties' positions have shifted over time, but this is about where they stand now:

The Democratic Party too often dragging its feet, and after years of work by progressive activists.

• - Let women decide how, if, and when to become mothers. Pro-Choice.
• - Give homosexual partners the same government rights as heterosexual partners.
• - The legal system should treat all citizens of this county equally and fairly. We recognize that it has not and, in many cases, is still not doing so. We need to address that. Black Lives Matter.
• - History isn't a singular moment in time; it is the context that led to today. America has a history that is both great and wicked. We need to be honest with ourselves about this and do better.

The Republican Party

• - No Gay Marriage. Gays are indoctrinating children. Being Gay or Trans is less-than. It is a lifestyle choice that should be ignored, silenced, or made illegal.
• - Ban Abortions. Abortion is murder. IUDs too.
• - All Lives Matter. Back the Blue. You will not replace us.
• - "Critical Race Theory teaches kids to hate our country and to hate each other." Ron DeSantis

President Joe Biden

2021
• - Our pullout of Afghanistan seemed chaotic, haphazard, and unplanned, despite years of foreknowledge and the exit happening on our timescale. I am glad we finally left their country, though I wish we would have left the Afghani people in a better position after so many years of being under our control. More secure and able to thrive. Not having that, I am glad we have at least mostly pulled back the war machine from that region. President Trump initiated the action, so thanks go to him, and Biden made sure it happened, so thank you, Joe.
• -
2022
• - 8.22 Student loan debt forgiveness. We'll see if it stands firm against legal challenge. If so, it has provisions that limit or remove interest from federal student loans (if enrolled in an Income Based Repayment Plan). We'll see.

Presidential Pardon Wishlist - Obama's clemency initiative was a move in the right direction. It should be re-established as a final line of justice for those whom the greater system has failed.
