We the People, endeavoring in an ever more perfect Union. Establish the Progressive Party of the United States. Party members will emphasize the value of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. As these are understood to be the foundation of Freedom.

For too long, has outside influence driven our politics. We seek to end Citizens United. The only money in politics should be our own.

The Two Party System, must come to an end. We shall seek to have Ranked Voting in each State of the Union.

We will seek a tax rate of no less, than ninety percent. On the wealthiest in this Country.

Higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, along with a robust corporate tax reform. Will provide the necessary funds to enhance our existing infrastructure, and new national projects.

Of these projects, are the creation of a High Speed Rail Network, and heavy investments for public sector research into AI and Fusion technologies.

We believe that a strong military is needed for defense. However, wars of aggression and conquest are counter to the peace that we seek.

An educated populace, is a strong populace. We will seek to make higher education, available and free to all People.

We believe that we are a part of this world, and shall seek to restore and maintain our relations with our long term allies.

    Kill your social media accounts, delete your streaming platforms, don’t fall for the dumb distractions like Ghibly avatars

    Amen brother. I’d even go as far and say we need to ban smart phones. We are not ready for them yet. Evidently.

      I’ve been trying to get my hands on a viable e-ink phone for a while. For now I use GrapheneOS and limit my app installations.

      I will be the first to admit that its a hard habit to break, but I’m getting there.

        My phone is 10 years old and screams at me every time I “need” to install a new app for some stupid service I want to use. My gym has an app. My public transit. My car. My bank. My boba tea place. I look at it maybe twice a day, to see if my wife wrote anything about some chores I gotta do after work, and to turn off the alarm. Curiously, my circle of friends and friend-interaction has shrunk the more “BETTER CONNECTED ™” we became through social media over the years. The better my old group of friends and I became “connected”, the more everyone drifted apart.

          I have a job requirement to have mine on me. Having two would make it annoying. Your situation is envysome.

        And what percentage of people would be willing to or even interested in doing this?
