Actually a really nice question, lets me think of how to make things better rather than just complain.

  1. Implement ranked choice voting across all elections. Undo all gerrymanders and make intentional gerrymander a criminal offense not protected by legislative immunity

  2. Pass immediate media/content law package, including laws limiting media ownership, limiting social media reinforcement algorithms, deep & persistent AI content watermarking and anti-disinformation rules, anti-propaganda laws, and content labeling for entertainment/opinion versus news programming.

  3. Pass public option healthcare of some type and set hard limits on our of pocket yearly healthcare expenses for private insurance at livable levels.

  4. Pass wealth and profit reform laws to set a CEO-to-lowest-paid-employee distribution ratio for all profit beyond $1m yearly net profit, and tax rates and wealth caps to discourage grotesque wealth accumulation (TBD, but let's say if you have more than $1b, most personal income will be taxed or business income redistributed to workers).

  5. Initiate global democracy reforms with all of the non-authoritarian governments and come up with global steps to counteract right-wing propaganda (primarily from Putin), revitalize democracy, and reverse the negative effects of globalization on the public to legitimately answer authoritarian populism.

Bonus:

Government reset: Publicly and immediately prosecute the law-breaking currently happening and reestablish rule of law, undo basically every action of Trump.

Reform immigration and law enforcement: cut DHS and ICE to the bone and rebuild into an immigration support system. De-militarize local and state law enforcement and retrain every single cop to actually serve and protect. Support with laws requiring mandatory reporting of police brutality or law-breaking, with criminal penalties for failing to do so.

Anti-enshittification laws: Saas business models heavily regulated, laws that limit companies' ability to data mine and exploit, laws that grant personal ownership of attention (i.e., your attention is not a public resource companies can freely mine with ads), stronger monopoly enforcement to prevent thr terminal stages of enshittified platforms, require giving users the option of staying on prior software and T&C versions.

Worker protection laws: Codify union rights into new laws and incentives for unionization, with anti-corruption package to reduce chance of capture.

Reform Congress to re-establish proportional representation. (Too much here. BMaybe go unicameral, expand house, expand Senate - all constitutional amendments but hey, why not.)

Easy-peezy.

Have Air Force One fly me back home, then quit. I don't want to deal with that shit.

I mean… I can appreciate the position, but I’d rather be fucking dead than be the president. That is a shitty, thankless job, and I want nothing to do with it.

This country needs a major overhaul, and I don’t want to be the public face of it that all of the crazies want to kill.

Immediately declare the 2016 and 2024 elections null and void. Anything touched by Trump will be null and void. Any executive orders, nominations, pardons, or government spending he approved will be undone. Anyone that helped him violate the law well be executed. Anyone who gave him over 10k to run for office will have to do 10 hours of community service for each dollar donated. All CEO's who make 300% or more than the next paid employee in the organization will be executed. Major tech CEO's will be executed. Heritage foundation, turning point, proud boys, oath keepers, etc will be declared terrorist organizations and all members will be hunted down and brought to justice. Roberts and Thomas will be executed for treason. Citizens United will be explicitly undone. CEO's/board members will be held directly responsible for the actions of their company and will serve jail time for any laws violated.

US military will be on the ground to help in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. All seized Russian assets will be given to Ukraine.

All assets will be seized from the trump crime organization, all members will be tried for treason and other financial crimes. Immediate release of fully unredacted Epstein files. Then it would be time for lunch on day 1...

  1. Dollar is fucked, national currency is Bitcoin now. Hope you bought some.

  2. You all have fought over gender too much, I'm taking it away. They/them for everyone. Using gendered pronouns is a minor offense, but can be considered harassment and/or incitement. All sports leagues are now coed. Bathrooms only have private stalls.

  3. If anyone your business employs can demonstrate that they are below the poverty line, it's getting nationalized. No, you don't get to know the number before the fed publishes it each quarter.

  4. Climate is fucked, and it's significantly our fault. Gas is now taxed at 2,000%. Meats and well, everything really, is going to be heavily taxed according to carbon footprint. And that will go up until we reach our target net emissions, zero.

  5. All elected public officials are executed at the end of their terms.

I will not be reelected, and I will not be taking any questions.
