Individualism (almost by definition) does not make for a great society.

I agree, however it seems that you have given a rather individualistic solution:

  • As far as solutions go we need to acknowledge our inherent biases and strive to see the world from beyond our own experiences.

@PizzaMan Okay, okay… an individualistic solution for individualism… not great so: At all political levels; implement a maximum number of terms allowed to eliminate career politicians. And; Proportional representation which creates more minority governments (forcing people & parties to work together) and increase voter turnout (the health of a democracy is directly proportional to the percentage of citizens who vote)… more I’m sure, but this poop is only so long.

implement a maximum number of terms allowed to eliminate career politicians

I can agree with that.

Proportional representation which creates more minority governments

Do you mean to suggest we get rid of the electoral collage in favor of a popular vote? If so then I also agree.

and increase voter turnout

How do you suggest we do this?

more I’m sure, but this poop is only so long.

I respect the honestly lmao.

I have some ideas for the "more" part.

  • Lobbying (bribery) of any kind at any government level should be criminalized

  • Changing from the electoral collage to popular vote

  • RCV or approval voting to reduce the polarization/extremism of candidates and allow for 3rd parties to exist

  • Election spending reform - All candidates for a given position should equally share campaign money from a shared pool

  • Journalism reform - No journalism should be done for profit, and the penalty for lying (including lying by omission) to the public should be severe

@PizzaMan Fuck lobbyists. I agree entirely; throw them all in the volcano. (I assume that’s what you meant by ‘criminalize’)

Yup, that's more or less what I mean.
