Impeachment and conviction are pipe dreams.
Protesting in-person is basically pointless virtue signaling because it lacks effective impact without the sustained and organized effort with specific, reasonable, realistic demands of millions of people bringing the economy to a screeching halt by not working, not buying anything, and impeding commercial transportation. 5-6 weeks and the king would need to abdicate.
Also need to go:
- PACs, especially AIPAC
- Citizens' United
- Non-independent state-level gerrymandering
- Campaign finance corruption
- Financial conflicts of interest, i.e., emoluments, stock trading, and insider disclosure to friends/family
Required:
- National voting holiday, perhaps combined with the July 4 holiday weekend
- Score Then Automatic Runoff (STAR) voting
- Mandatory, nationwide option for permanent mail-in ballot
- Mandatory sufficient polling stations with sufficient required polling stations per capita, maximum average waiting time, maximum average driving distance, and blockchain transaction voting (not crypto bullshit, just blockchain recording) with a paper record that can be located on the public blockchain that also indicates total number of votes and the contents of all votes. With mail-in ballots, a receipt is sent to the sender similar to in-person voting and so they can prove their vote was counted themselves. Provisional ballots are only for unregistered persons without identity docs who go on a provisional blockchain until the identity verification issue is resolved.
- Same day, no-registration-needed voting for any unregistered people with a valid, physical original seal birth certificate or valid passport
- Restoration of the Tillman Act (prohibit corporate contributions to political campaigns)
