Would love to hear your take on elections in the U.S. as well as U.S. influence of elections globally. Would be great to hear reflections from your time in the UK

Authority figures divide the nation to free power figures to control policy. How can we unite to stop this? Tax strike? National teacher strike, say every Wednesday?

With specific demands

1. Universal gun registration and insurance

2. Enforce the emoluments clause

3. Legislate DACA and a generous and fair immigration policy

4. Limit presidential executive orders and pardons

5. Overturn Citizens United (we aren’t!)

6. Require 5 year Pres and VP tax returns upon accepting a nomination

7. A national voter policy

8. Abolish ICE or restrict it to one mile of the border

9. End the Electoral College

10. National healthcare

Embrace the kvetch. A little absurdism for garnish, maybe tempered with the kind of radical optimism that keeps lament from hardening. Looking forward to reading 🙂
