We're So Fucked.

OK, now that I'm going to be a dad, I guess I'm getting more serious about my political feelings. I would like to take a moment and make the following small edits to our nation in order to improve our health, environment, economy and education systems.

Elections:

• One national popular vote. No state or 'super' delegates.
• Nobody understands delegates; nobody thinks it's fair.
  

• Media/speaking opportunities at no cost to candidate; no personal funding of campaign, no donations. Like a huge round robin tournament (like all major team sports in the US)
• $5.5 billion spent by this year's presidential candidates so far.

Healthcare:

• Healthcare for all, paid by taxes. Like every other country.
• Health 'bill of rights' for kids.
  
• No junk food in schools (vending machines and cafeteria food).
  

Domestic Policy:

• Enforced separation of church and state; the US is not a Christian country.
• Protect same-sex marriage at the Federal level.
  
• Legalize and standardize the most popular recreational drugs (esp. marijuana and cocaine) via licensed vendors (like cigarettes).
• Affirmative action (and other "reparations") outlawed. Equal opportunity, less resentment.
  
• Path to citizenship for current illegal immigrants. Tighter borders.
• Guarantee Net Neutrality.
• Repeal Patriot Act. Seriously, people.
  
• Make higher education free to students, but raise admissions standards (like Australia).
  
• Drinking age lowered to 16 years old to let parents observe formative drinking years.
  
• Standardized education for teenagers about credit. Must pass a test to enter credit world.
• In addition to traffic tickets, award random cash prizes for motorists who obey the law. Opposite of a ticket (positive reinforcement).
  

Foreign Policy:

• Pay off foreign debt. Govt. needs to lead by example not to live beyond means. Until debt is paid, spending needs to be reeled in, just like personal finance.
  
• Any military action abroad must have consent of Allies (e.g. EU) and NATO (checks/balances).

Environment:

• Start shutting down coal-fired power plants. Open more nuclear plants. Like EU.
• Mandate one purely electric (not hybrid) model per make of car sold in US, priced according to middle of that make's range.
• Govt. sponsored car-sharing program.
• All new SUVs must be hybrid.
  

By the way, what political party does all this sound like? None? That's because we have a 2-party system, neither of which anyone can completely relate to. Voting in America is like shopping for a car but being forced to pick between Ford and Chevy. What if I want a damn Volkswagen? Too bad.
