It means we the USA have to grow up.

- Congress is a failed institution

- must get money out of politics including inside trading. I'm will to pay congress more salary for that. Offenses thereafter are criminal offenses

- the days of pretty boys talking atomically small wedge points on complex issues on tv is over. The shadow boxing over cultural issues to get re-elected by constantly winding up dumb voters is over

- attenuation to the center. Corporations and rich individuals have gotten entitled and too safe which by overshooting will create a far stronger far left, which I do not want either

- do what we say we do instead of just talk lovingly about it: justice to treat all equally under the law.

- stop scapegoating foreigners and immigrants: the failed US congress which is us has been the single most damaging thing to this country. They're weakness has let trump run amuck in addition.
