    I’d say:

    1. Reverse citizens united.
    2. Institute voting reform, abolishing gerrymandering and introducing ranked choice voting.
    3. Enshrine reproductive freedom.
    4. Levy massive wealth taxes to fund social safety nets with an emphasis on Medicare for all.
    5. Heavily tax non-primary residences, dismantle investing in housing for profit.
    6. Thoroughly and completely audit the military budget. Cut waste spending.
    7. UBI

    That’s just, like, my personal list, man.

      Yeah, it’d be a different list if I was American. Although honestly I’m pretty sure the US government is terminally unable to do any meaningful reforms at this point.

        Yeah Canada starts with a massive leg up in that regard. I’d argue wealth tax and housing reform would be necessary to keep UBI from being another source of money for the rich to take from the poor.
