The Washington Post published a series of short pieces the other day by different people on things they felt needed to be got rid of. In the Comments section, people posted their own lists. Here's mine as of that day:
Private health insurance. That absolutely needs to go. Single payer for all, no exceptions. And congress and public officials should be on the same insurance the rest of us are.
Permitless carry, concealed or open. That's a travesty and IMNSHO, not at all what the founders had in mind. Anyone wanting any kind of weaponry should be screened and background checked, should have to take a gun safety course, and should have a license and carry insurance. No exceptions. Stiff fines for a first offense, prison for a second.
Men making decisions about women's bodies. Especially if they are politicians or preachers. That should be self-explanatory.
The Republican Party as currently constituted.
Let's see yours.

(24,154 posts)Popular vote should determine the President.
And and the senate determined by population or region not 2 senators each state.
the Electoral College has long outlived its original purpose and is now HARMING America

(48,568 posts)Arms. Bullets should be $5 each. Some of these people live on the edge of poverty but they have money for 600 bullets every weekend. WTF?

(65,598 posts)The more "liberal" part of the current GOP will NEED somewhere to go. They can't/won't become Manchin type Dems. Perhaps they will call it "The New Republican Party." We'll see what happens.

The whole Trump family, plus Abbott and DeSantis.

(6,940 posts)plastic bags, plastic rings (like drinks are packed in) - OK pretty much plastic everything and add it balloons too.
Chewing gum.
The attitude that a cell phone should make me available 24/7 and I don't answer back right away I'm rude.
AM Talk radio.
Fox
Those super aggressive drivers that get the biggest damn vehicle on the market and use it to tailgate, lane block, hop lanes and generally be traffic jackwagons. It isn't a battering ram you twerps.
