24. My political fantasy:
The 2-party system is no more. A variety of parties exist to represent a multitude of perspectives. All elections are 100% publicly financed, with no donations from anyone anywhere allowed. Votes are cast on paper ballots. All candidates are given equal air time, and neutral press coverage. Churches are either no longer tax exempt, or no longer allowed to preach politics from the pulpit. We use proportional representation in the House and Senate. The President is elected by popular vote.

The U.S. is no longer a capitalist, corporate-run republic, but a social democracy.

The politicians who are in office are those who work for the people, to make sure that the U.S. is a thriving hive of social and economic justice.
