MODERATORS
I’m happy if the mail comes on time. I don’t think the government could properly manage these broad sweeping programs especially with radical changes to the legislative and judicial branches and elections.
Nor do I think you’d be able to get the states on board with this much radical change. Everything sounds ok on a surface level but rather than thinking pie in the sky, pragmatism would be needed on just the most important issues such as a universal health plan or education plan
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

Yeah, I could get behind 90% of this. Find me that candidate/party and I would vote for them!
You forgot to add abolishing slavery.
Considering that lemmy.world is pretty much just a ball of pearl-clutching white liberalism these days it's not very surprising.
