Step 1: fund a national campaign to challenge Citizens United and put new test cases through the courts.
Step 2: restore the federal prohibition (dropped during Obama admin) against propaganda.
Step 3: implement a modern equivalent to Glass-Steagall banking regulation, so that taxpayer capital is not backstopping high-risk investments.
Without a shared model of reality, it is difficult to collaborate on the building of new realities. If unlimited ad/PR spending can be used to manipulate media, the voices and interests of individual humans struggle to be heard, leaving us with flawed models awaiting the next crisis where reality suddenly corrects rhetoric.
If the above is not feasible at the federal level, start with one state and use every available legal/policy/finance tool to (a) pursue similar goals, and (b) encourage migration of like-minded civic leaders and builders from other states.
