THE COMMON GOOD MANIFESTO

A society built for people, not predators.

We are at our best when we invest in each other.

We are at our worst when we abandon the vulnerable.

This manifesto is how we return to the common good.

I. DIGNITY AND JUSTICE

1. Release the Epstein files โ€” full transparency, no exceptions.

2. Impeach, convict, and imprison Donald Trump and every handler who enabled his corruption.

3. No federal office for any convicted felon.

4. End the weaponization of the justice system against the poor, immigrants, LGBTQ people, and marginalized communities.

II. DEMOCRACY THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

1. Abolish the Electoral College โ€” one person, one vote.

2. Abolish ICE โ€” replace it with humane immigration policy that honors human rights.

3. Ban gerrymandering with a standardized national apportionment method.

4. Two-term limits for every elected office.

5. Mandatory retirement at 70 for all elected officials.

6. Paper ballots only โ€” end the era of hackable voting machines.

III. AN ECONOMY THAT SERVES PEOPLE

1. Restore 1950s-style progressive tax rates โ€” when America was prosperous and fair.

2. Overturn Citizens United โ€” corporations are not people.

3. Eliminate the Social Security payroll cap and tax capital gains for Social Security contributions.

4. $25 minimum wage indexed to inflation.

5. Medicare for All, one unified system โ€” no A/B/C/D maze.

6. Congress receives Medicare, not boutique private insurance.

IV. WORKERS, CREATIVES, AND PUBLIC SERVANTS

1. Big pay raises for social workers, teachers, librarians, artists, and cultural workers โ€” the people who actually hold society together.

2. Universal childcare โ€” because families are the foundation of the nation.

3. Free public university education.

4. Full forgiveness of all student debt.

V. CLEAN GOVERNMENT

1. Root out corruption at every level, starting at the top.

2. Full financial transparency for every elected official, appointee, and senior bureaucrat.

3. Ban lobbying for former officeholders for life.

VI. THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE

We choose a country that values:

โ€ข Compassion over cruelty

โ€ข Community over greed

โ€ข Truth over propaganda

โ€ข Shared prosperity over billionaire hoarding

โ€ข Democracy over minority rule

โ€ข Human dignity over corporate profit

We choose a nation where the common good is not a slogan, but the organizing principle of public life.

And we refuse to apologize for demanding better.

McCarthy is one of the GOAT hosts. She could've easily spent time in the cast when she was younger.

It's really, really fun how character-driven the sketches they write for her (and to which I'm sure she contributes) are - the clip above being a perfect example. It's like a Kristen Wiig episode.

One of my favorites she did in the past was the lady who loved ranch dressing way too much.

Did you watch the skit of her as a UPS driver? Omg! It was hilarious.

Especially w the dogs (and Iโ€™m a cat person and still found it offensive). Disgusting.

It was quite hilarious. She was the nerdy version of Alex in Fatal Attraction

Obviously, many people complaining have never worked in a grocery store or in-person customer service! Even when I worked at a jewelry counter, there were some weird customers๐Ÿ˜‚
