“Oh, but this isn’t an act of war. It’s an excursion. You know? All of our military boys booked a cruise ship vacation to the Middle East, and one of the excursions listed in the pamphlet was, ‘Murder children and elderly Ayatollahs in Iran to distract the American public from the Trump-Epstein files.’”
Unfunny jokes aside, there are many amendments I would like to pass before that. And I’m an older man anyways, so I probably wouldn’t be seeing any danger if I voted for a war.
I’d pass an Amendment that guarantees citizens right to receive the best attempt at truthful statements from the government and political candidates, where immediate dismissal is the minimum consequence for any intentional lie in a public statement from a government worker, and for any other workers who conspired to lie to the public.
I think that Americans cannot be expected to vote correctly if they are lied to by their government.
I’d pass an Amendment that standardizes how voting districts are drawn, and requires them to be drawn for the most fair representation among known voting blocks.
I’d pass an Amendment that requires the voting method used to try to maximize certain aspects like Condorcet voting, such as ability to recount, removing spoiler candidates, and minimizing voter dissatisfaction.
I’d pass an Amendment that says campaigns cannot be funded by private donations, including volunteering time. Campaigns are either run on a flat fee, or they can incorporate things like vouchers that are provided to registered voters.
We still haven’t passed that equality Amendment for women’s rights.
For less fleshed out ones, I’d love amendments that guarantee nutrition and education for children, and clean water and free medical care for every American.
