I have a very strong environmental bent. I feel the world should be made uncomfortable now to avoid apocalypse. I would break apart mon- di- and even tri- opolies. I would overhaul the copyright system to enhance competition specifically because we're in a period where small companies are not capable or competing in the arenas that megacorps do. I would remove loopholes from tax and legal laws.

I would enforce corporations cleaning up after their messes. If that cleanup is too expensive for them to bear, then they should not be making those messes to begin with.

I would also refuse immigration from countries with more population than can be supported. I would push for a more cyclical global economy instead of relying on inter-governmental debt spirals. I would implement UBI.

I meet none of the standards you have laid out.

Who are you to tell me what I am, other than confidently incorrect?

That ain't centrism, that's neoliberalism. Go forth and be the best neoliberal you can be, I guess. But when the chuds start calling you a socialist, for proposing what seems reasonable to you, don't back down!

Maybe, but I wouldn't use the label. I want them to fight the ideas, not dismiss the label. Makes for better conversation.

I’d vote for you.

I very much appreciate that. I hope to one day try.
