No matter who wins the presidency, we need to think fundamental & not just incremental change. Poverty, income inequality, education, children, war &peace, criminal justice, racial healing, climate change, environmental toxins… all demand more than a little tweaking here & there

You are right and that needed Bernie. The reality is that we have Biden, the champion of status kuo.

I don’t think either party will on board with that.

If trump wins ... we'll get nothing ... let alone tweaking ... if Biden wins ... he will be the "Commander and Tweaker" ... he's the guy we'll need to push!

The hard work might begin after the election. Addressing climate change alone is no small task. Your list is spot on. Addressing all these simultaneously is complex.

The US Constitution specifically exists to promote incremental change rather than fundamental change.

The pillars of corrupt politics as usual needs to be abolished with reforms instead of being told to vote for the lesser of two evils which translates to “vote blue no matter who”: ✅ Abolished the electoral college ✅ Push for ranked choice voting ✅ End gerrymandering.

Ideal however with the current worship of wall street, it’s going to take a lot to change.

The things you want are incompatible with a stable authoritarian govt. The things you want are leftist things. Rightists want to go right. They're authoritarians. There's absolutely no reason to hope that you'll get a rightist to help you destroy the govt they want.
