There is so much division, even in this sub. We have more in common than we think. So let’s work together instead of fighting.

I’m making this post after reading the comments in the battle royale post. Libs vs conservatives.

We often say we are all living under the wings of the same bird. We mostly want the same things. So let’s discuss those things.

I’ll start. I did not create this list but I did ammend it.

Get money out of politics. The interests of corporations and billionaires (not millionaires) are at odds with a functioning democracy.

Affordable healthcare. Our current insurance-led system is a waste of tax payer dollars and is worse for overall care. We rank lower across numerous statistics than we should.

Lower taxes for the majority of the country, tax the billionaires, and fund programs that benefit Americans. Wealth disparity is even more shocking than what most Americans think, and they already think it's bad.

Support Social Security and Medicare. We have an aging population that deserves a dignified later stage of their life.

Criminal Justice Reform. Privatized prisons and the way non-violent offenses are handled are wasting tax payer dollars. Improve rehabilitation programs and punish repeat offenders.

Raise the Minimum Wage. Wages have not kept up with productivity or inflation.

Address the housing and homeless crisis.

Invest in public education. Make college affordable. Kids are ALWAYS our future.

Fix government spending, we waste a lot of money.

More investment into American infrastructure; roads, bridges, dams, public transportation. Shit is falling apart.

How we do these things is often where we find differences. But let’s find common ground. How can we make this list reality?
