None of that really. Why work within a broken system?
Example : ending the filibuster. Who cares? That is a short term solution that will be exploited and then worked around after no more than one term. The system needs some very foundational changes.
Break PAC voting. Break lobbies. Set term limits for everything. Remove voting for law enforcement, (voting for a sheriff? Is this the old west?). Outlaw 'for profit' incarceration. Expand the power of the IRS to come down on all levels of government conflict of interest with serious consequences.
Go all out and re-write the constitution, which is an absolute dinosaur. The system is so lawyered up, there is no movement available.
It doesn't bother anyone that all we hear about is the issue of the moment, and root causes are never addressed?
The news is all about things like the filibuster. Who gives a ####. Attack what made these stop-gap motions necessary. When I said breaking gridlock I meant bigger. It would help Canada and the UK if the US can invent and lead us all to a way of ending party voting blocks. If senators voted for their individual constituency, how many problems would disappear? Use your big brains America! Come on!
Would it require a grass roots movement supported by the President to do anything? Yes. But Trump almost did it, and he is an idiot.
