30. what about economics?
Surely "Leftists" have positions on economics.

So just what do you mean by "radical democracy"? I'm just advocating for basic commonsense democratic principles here in the US... principles such as every vote weighs the same and every citizen has a right to vote their conscience and be represented for their beliefs (proportional representation) and not end up throwing the election to a minority candidate (run-offs). So even though these are basic reforms, it would take a series of Constitutional amendments to enact them on the federal level. If that hurdle isn't enough... there's the ideological blinders worn by those who think our system, anti-democratic and dysfunctional as it is, represents the best of all possible worlds.
