Social The Divided States of America - A discussion of the problems and potential solutions.

[Zazen]

1) Trump era needs to die. He's simply too divisive. He sees half the country as the enemy and even the half that he is suppose to care for he hurts anyway with horrible economic policy.

2) A new leader needs to emerge with a focus on finding key issues that unite the two groups. Israel would definitely be one, I think almost all young people want us to cut ties with them or at least not be influenced by them any longer. They are an unhinged genocidal country and they get way too much money from us. Their reputation also harms USA's reputation.

3) Something needs to be done with social media algorithms. One thing I've noticed about all recent shooters is that they are usually some young brain rot internet addict that can't distinguished between fact and fiction. I find myself even becoming more negative scrolling through X. Everyone just acts like a complete piece of shit because of its anonymous nature. It also rewards the most toxic behavior so it's incentivized to be that way.

4) Get young people to travel more. Republicans are terrified of cities and Democrats think rural areas are filled with inbred low IQ losers. Maybe there needs to be a national exchange student program in most high schools across the USA. I don't know if there's already something like that but maybe there should be.

1.) This is not exclusive to Trump. Dems need to get off their asses as well. Dismissing candidates because they don't fit the party narrative (i.e. Sanders getting screwed over for Clinton) needs to end. I would support getting rid of party systems all together. Instead bring in rank choice voting for primary elections and the top 2 move to the general election.

2.) This sounds good but I am wondering if a President would be better off running on multiple issues but having a primary focus for each of the 4 years in office? For example dealing with Israel but the primary goal of the 4 years would be to introduce a new tax system that replaces the horrible one America has now.

3.) Break off the big tech firms and limit outsourcing of tech jobs to 10% to 15% (number can be higher or lower depending on "fairness") of the total workforce at a company. The Feds need to shut down Facebook entirely and there needs to be a reworking of intellectual property laws in the United States. Lastly, things like Right To Repair should be law across the country. For example, Windows is closing support for Windows 10 this year but for those that like Windows 10 they should be able to get the source code so they can fix and support their own systems if they want to keep Windows 10.

4.) I agree with this but a lot of those inbred low IQ losers end up joining the military and travel anyway. There's also inbreds traveling through Christian Missionary groups. Plus travel with this inflation is expensive. An alternative could be increased language learning starting in pre-schools. More people should come out of high school fluent in at least 2 languages.
