PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE RESULT OF, NOT THE CAUSE OF OUR DIS-SATISFACTION WITH THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. IF THE CAUSES OF OUR DIS-SATISFACTION ARE NOT ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED, AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S EXIT THE CAUSES OF OUR DISCONTENT WILL REMAIN.
- THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED. ITS ONLY REASON FOR BEING IS TO OBSTRUCT THE POPULAR WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
- THE METHOD BY WHICH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS ARE DETERMINED SHOULD BE IN NEUTRAL HANDS- SO THAT GERRYMANDERING CAN BE AVOIDED.
- THE NUMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. THE U.S. IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDER REPRESENTED DEMOCRACIES IN THE WORLD. WE HAVE 435 REPRESENTATIVES FOR A POPULATION OF 325,000,000 PEOPLE. THAT EQUATES TO ONE REPRESENTATIVE FOR EVERY 700,000 CITIZENS. NO OTHER DEMOCRACY IS SO UNDER REPRESENTED.
- VOTER SUPPRESSION SHOULD BE TREATED AS A FELONY AND ANYONE FOUND GUILTY OF IMPEDING IN ANY WAY A CITIZEN’S RIGHT AND ABILITY TO VOTE SHOULD BE PUNISHED BY FINE AND INCARCERATION.
- CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED AND THE LENGTH OF CAMPAIGNS SHOULD BE SHORTENED. WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF TECHNOLOGY THE NEED FOR TWO YEAR CAMPAIGNS IS LUDICROUS.
- ELECTION DAY SHOULD BE MADE A NATIONAL HOLIDAY OR MOVED TO THE WEEKEND TO INCREASE VOTER PARTICIPATION.
- A WAY SHOULD BE FOUND TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF VIABLE POLITICAL PARTIES TO BROADEN THE CHOICES AVAILABLE TO THE CITIZENS.
- MILITARISM AND PERPETUAL WAR SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
FAILURE TO ADDRESS THESE PRE-TRUMP FAULTS WILL RESULT IN A POST-TRUMP ERA OF CONTINUED DIS-CONTENTMENT
