military
severely reduce military overseas
abandon our policy by which we allow ourselves the 'first strike' nuclear option
maintain reduced nuclear capability that's still sufficient to assure destruction of nuclear opponent

environment
commit to significant greenhouse gas reductions; stump the country for it to create popular pressure in Congress so Congress will pass the Paris Accord

economy
stump for a 'fair deal' economy where everyone has the opportunity to earn a living wage

Are we talking about the do-able, or the ideal?

If you lived in the US, I'd suggest you vote for Bernie in the primary.

Since you don't, fuck off.

I believe these are doable, but would take an extraordinary team. The biggest hurdle is getting a buy-in from the voter. But that I think can be solved by plain talk - by speaking the simple truths that people know to be true.

For example, on the economy, I think people know that a system with persistent un- and under-employment is in plain terms built to make people desperate for work. And that leads to hostilities between groups as they contend for an advantage to secure themselves. We wouldn't have the struggles today between whites and blacks, browns and yellows, men and women, young and old, if there was a fair opportunity for everyone.
A 'fair deal' message, I think, would speak to people.

Hmmm... because I have a whole laundry list of things that I think are essential for the USA to recover economically and socially, but none of them are do-able. I don't think yours are either. Not that there's anything fundamentally impossible about what you propose, but you'd be fighting powerful vested interests.

So, I'm going to stick with the ideal.

Revolutions can happen with just words.

At one point my sig line was "The hardest thing to change is a mind". But it's doable. People just need to see that it's within reach.

Not that I think I'm 'the one' to either craft or present the plan. But several someones out there are.

I've copied most of it here:

KaN YQ KoWNT, SUKRZ?
(click on Cyrus's quote to see & hear it)

If you're keeping count, you know the present is certainly not ours.

The wealthy are hogging up all the money. Uncle Scam is a basket case that can't even run an honest election.
The entire economy is set up like a giant cattle ranch with us as the cows. The stupid bad guys are running free, murdering us with bullets and drugs. The smart bad guys are running companies, selling us bullets and drugs.
We The People are working overtime, yet still picking which bills to not pay every month.

I'm writing this in January 2017, a week before Trump's inauguration, feeling like we are about to reboot the first decade of this millenium. Reboot as in the bigger bolder faster turbocharged 4K HD on steroids with a sparkling drop of retzin version! (in case you aren't getting it - that means bad. VERY bad.)

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that money in the electoral system is the problem.

It's bad enuf with giant corporations doing everything they can to squeeze us dry while ruining the planet, but when money starts writing the rules we live by, eventually we wont be able to live at all.

Money has been the lifeblood of politics from the beginning, but generally speaking, it's been kept at a level.
Now that the party-of-the-rich has nearly complete control and the president himself is a desperate wannabe-billionaire, job #1 for them will be to lock in the next and all future elections. Then we're totally, completely and permanently screwed.

Do not make the mistake of thinking America can't possibly become an official oligarchy rather than just the virtual oligarchy it is now. Those rich suckers can count. And they are counting on your apathy and inattention to let their congressmen, senators, governors and Trumps tweek the levers just a little bit more without any pesky watchdogs interfering.

Trust me, it'll be GREAT! You wont believe how unbelievable it will be, believe me! FANTASTIC trust me.

I, for one, do not trust them. I can count, and can see what this adds up to: they win, we lose.
My name is JO 753. I am running for President of The United States of America because I believe that We The People still have a chance to own the future and I can help make it happen.

A VISIoN FoR THe FUTURe

It's not enuf to talk about how bad the current administration is and say I can do better. It's too tempting to pick up the weapons of party politics that forget the wisdom of together we stand, especially when you can claim 'they started it'. No. 'Better than the other guy' is just an excuse to set a low bar. There has to be a promise based on actual ideas, positive ideals, real goals.

We must set our sights with optimism on the best we can imagine, not the minimum we can settle for.

Any fool can think up ways it can go wrong. Real leaders think up ways to make it happen.

If you've looked me up on the web, you may have gotten the impression that I am some sort of starry eyed idealistic idiot-genius who doesn't know human nature so can't understand why his plans will never fly in the real world. Or you may have a strong sense of true conservatism and feel that I'm a threat to those values.

I don't have any money. I don't have any contact at all with the wealthy or any political heavy weights. And clearly, I don't know how to knot a tie. But if voters continue to judge candidates by their wealth and past political experience, the oligarchs of the world will be able to pick who you can vote for, ensuring a win for themselves no matter who wins the election. Liberal or conservative, they don't care; their speech writers will tailor the message to get your vote.

Read this site. Most of the ideas are my own. All of it fits my philosophy. None of it is intended to trick you into supporting me. What you see is what I will fight for. When facts & lojik are on my side, I don't care if

My #1 priority is avoiding nuclear war with Russia. At this point either country can single-handedly destroy the entire planet at least a few times over. That's a good reason to not get into nuclear conflict, because nobody wins.
It's #1 because if we can't avoid nuclear war in the immediate future, then nothing else matters.

There are 4 kinds of pro-nuclear-war agendas I've noticed.
· One is to provoke Russia with every non-nuclear scenario that can be implemented, including setting up large NATO forces directly on the Russian border, sending nuclear-capable bombers to Europe, pre-deploying nuclear weapons in Europe, threatening or attacking Russia's allies (Syria, Venezuela, Iran), and instituting sanctions for extremely specious reasons - with the (apparent) assumption Russia won't retaliate either with nuclear weapons, or escalate into nuclear war. Most democrats and most republicans are behind this because they've both bought into the deep state regime.
· The second is by dropping out of nuclear treaties.
· The third is through the democratic-supported policy of US 'limited' nuclear first-strikes or 'limited' use of nuclear weapons in proxy wars. That might escalate directly into nuclear war. The other scenario that those brilliant minds haven't seemed to consider is that the US could be subjected to a 'limited' nuclear counterattack that we will have to endure in order to avoid all-out nuclear war.
· The fourth is by trying to have 'the best, fantastic, you would not imagine how unbelievable' nuclear arsenal; which as a side effect has already started another cold war, including the militarization of space.

When it comes to Venezuela, Russia (an ally) has already sent troops. In addition China (also an ally) has also just sent troops. Hopefully the US will think twice before militarily engaging two powerful countries.

As agents of the deep state, the msm has already started jonesing for confrontation, in the person of Fareed Zakaria, in a double-barreled CNN/ WaPo propaganda push. They're both summarized here with appropriate links to originals: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-02/cnn-wapo-demand-trump-furthe
r-escalate-tensions-russia

Given how gullible Americans are (WMDs, anyone?) and how steadfastly people refuse to learn the fact that the government lies all the time, I'll be interested to hear the candidates' takes on this.
