Robert Reich, American professor, author, lawyer, political commentator, and previous Secretary of Labor created a video[1] explaining how Trump loyalists are rigging the upcoming 2024 presidential election. + +The twice-impeached wannabe dictator[2] and his cronies should be prosecuted for their involvement in the January 6th coup attempt[3] and barred from ever holding public office again. That's the only reasonable outcome given what happened that day. + +We also need to pass legislation to strengthen and ultimately save American democracy. Here are just a few ideas to get started on that: +* automatic voter registration for all eligible voters +* ranked-choice voting (first-past-the-post inevitably leads to two-party rule) +* prohibit undue burdens on the right to vote (no voter suppression measures) +* give prisoners and felons the right to vote +* nonpartisan commissions for drawing congressional maps (end gerrymandering) +* abolish the filibuster (it's undemocratic) +* abolish the electoral college (it's undemocratic) +* public financing of elections (weaken the power of lobbying) +* require all congressional candidates to disclose political donations +* ban members of congress from owning specific stocks (it's insider trading) +* require all congressional candidates to disclose their tax returns + + +Link(s): +[1: The Current Plot to Rig U.S. Elections](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=gV5VKW_fPVc) +[2: The Wannabe Dictator](../../../../glossary/) +[3: January 6th](https://wikiless.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Capitol_attack) |
