When this nightmare is over we’ll need to guarantee 3 things to make sure it never happens again: that 1) every American child learn civics, 2) every citizen has enough economic opportunity to thrive, and 3) we take the money out of politics and return government to the people.

Other things I think are critical: Ranked Choice Voting to end the Duopoly New laws to enforce checks and balances on the Executive branch, especially around potential impeachment New restrictions on the Executive branch, especially around appointments and spending

The problem isn't fixed by teaching civics. The problem is a #CorporateMedia owned by the #CapitalClass.

Ok so if we had a magic wand my 1st request celestial would be overturn Citizens United. There is direct lineage from CU to Mitch McConnell from there to Trump. One made the next possible. Next would be Medicare for All.

4) Get rid of the electoral college 5) Term limits for Congress 6) Amend the constitution so that we don’t have 2 senators per state, but representative of state demographics.

I would reorder the priority because unless and until we get money out of politics, nothing else changes. That is our log jam.

Ranked choice voting. Voucher programs. Defund the police and fund education reform.

Pro-tip, giving the party who stole the election from Bernie twice, isn't the first step.

Do away with the electoral college and elect on popular vote only. Too many people's votes are disenfranchised because the electoral delegate sold his vote.
