Amerikkka should not exist. It must be abolished. There are concessions the State & capital will adhere to when we mobilize, but revolution will never be on the ballot.

Domination is a byproduct of coercive hierarchy. To free ourselves from domination we have to be strategic in how we interact with systems of power. Non-reformist reforms can improve our material conditions in the short term, but true liberation is only achieved when we abolish all States, abolish Capitalism and abolish hierarchy.

We don't have to bargain for our humanity. We have the capacity to collectively organize and care for ourselves and the environment.

mandatory voting is not something i agree with.

The house and senate should both exist, they both serve a purpose. The senate gives every state an equal footing, the house gives every state representation in regards to population, so they both serve a very explicit purpose.

idk about house rep cap. There are already so many, perhaps improve the makeup of the reps though? That's pretty messy.

on the supreme court term limit, include an age limit as well.

That's it, everything else would be fine probably?

I agree with you, I think uncapping the house is the right move however, it'd give the people a more representative vote while the Senate maintains State interests

i suppose that's true, but to a point, it doesnt really matter how big the house is, you just need a better member make up like i said. Ultimately, we already have a problem with incumbent house members. they get voted on every two years. Having more would only make that more likely, which probably isn't great.

I'll leave that shit to the political science majors, lol.
