Populist Reform of the Democratic Party
In reply to the discussion: What are the PROBLEMS Populists want to fix? [View all]Cosmic Kitten
(3,498 posts)We all know we need jobs, economic reform,
to end wars, state surveillance etc etc etc.
We could generate an endless shopping list
of policy fixes, right?
But how did we get here?
There are systemic problems that created this mess.
Adressing outside, undue in Congress would go
farther in solving some problems rather than
playing whack-a-mole with each individual problem.
Take ELECTIONS for example:
This is a huge problem for Populists.
How do you remove barriers to voter participation?
Do you try to urge individuals, one at a time, to vote?
Do you fight gerrymandering one state at a time?
Do you address voting methods/counting case by case?
What about voting wait times?
I could go on in minutia about these problems...
But it is a SYSTEMIC PROBLEM more readily solved
though addressing the system itself, not the symptoms?
Hopefully that helps clarify
