  • Aportionment voting. As close to possible make sure the voting for a party gets appropriate representation then vote in who by primary. If this is a 100 seat senate and the state goes 48%red 51% blue and 1 % green each color holds a primary after the election to choose who will represent this platform that got them elected. This creates unity inside a party on issues in which everyone should campaign on and if you aren’t striving to enact the platform it is more seen and you are less likely to be voted in in the primary next time. This creates more parties as if you have a different platform what is the point being in the same party. You still have to play smart like the green party should work green if they have the same agenda that way people don’t get upended but generally this is better







  • Agreed. How do we organize the economy to reflect this. 2024 our gdp was close to $30 trillion. In 2025 there was around 165 million workers and let’s say a population of 350 million people. Each worker produces on average $181k of productivity. Each citizen has about $85k worth of productivity each year attributed to them. Even in today’s American every citizen can afford some luxuries if productivity was more equitably shared across the country. How can we enforce this more

    1. Limit C-suite wages to their bottom line workers including the sub contracted janitors.

    2. All boards must have labor interests in the company represented.

    3. Higher tax on money so it can go into subsidies for the disabled and poor.

    4. Cancel restrictions on savings/resources money for disabled people. Have a more progressive subsidy system for the poor.

    5. Destroy redundancy in the economy. Health care insurance, pharmaceutical companies, military spending, and education. We spend money as a society on these endeavors they should be owned and controlled by the people. We shouldn’t be paying for the profit of military contractors, pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, and education. There should be budgets and it costs what it costs. Our military should also be brought back to America if we want to keep the jobs program we can defend ourselves from our own soil and excess military people can do public service work like bridges and roads. If the government spends money it should go to employing people directly not private corporate hands




  • As a white person.

    Justice can not be served for black people or other racial minorities if we pull up the wealth ladder and tax them as they get money. The system was racist and allowed white people to get ahead if you tax everyone equally who do you harm the poorer and newer wealthy people. If you don’t take from a subset of the population you harm

    We had a racist system that allowed wealth to go to white people. We eliminated the slave labor 164 years ago and tradition of viewing and treating other races as less than(in theory 61 years ago). But the white already wealthy people already own everything and have generational wealth. We have not had a thing that helped black people specifically. They were suppose to get 40 acres and a mule. A generation hasn’t even passed of being able to discriminate against races.

    If you pull up the ladder of wealth you are only hurting new wealth which would be proportionally more black people versus targeting old wealth which would proportionally be white people.

    Lastly Mamdani said he was describing the neighborhood he was targeting with his changes to taxing. He wasn’t going to put language into law that it had to be white people.


  • That isn’t how taxes work in the usa. The government borrows money from your/our future prints it to pay all its bills. Taxes just cover a bit of the expenditures when they come in. The government can care less about balancing the budget. So it doesn’t matter if they get their money throughout the year or in April you wont hurt them. Only thing at risk is general people being audited and hurt also i believe you pay a penalty for not paying through the year. Since I have been alive we never have had a surplus. It would take years of a democratic presidency for the surplus to hit as the programs take years to produce profits and reduce the deficit. Sadly a democratic president/platform never stays popular for long enough.
