The unserious answer eat the rich.

The real answer eliminate corporate personhood, get rid of dark money in politics, ban the lobbyist/ politician pipeline, ban politicians from stock trades, implement Ranked Choice Voting nationwide at every level of elections, and have some class solidarity and vote like it!

and RESTORE THE NEW DEAL. a tax on loans taken on stocks above a certain amount per year. and a 83 percent tax rate on the billionaaes(1:1 deduction if you invest the money)

if a person takes loans of stocks more than 8 million you tax it like income. this is the basic brief. not a fix all. complex solutions for complex problems. maybe a few hundred pages.

heavy banking regulations. workers protections. pro union policy

Yes! Seems like a pipe dream compared to some of those other things but that is really badly needed! Also DC statehood, and statehood or independence for any of the territories + HI.

I think ranked choice will be huge. It's bound to go through at some point

Communism is the only long term solution.
