A gradual shift towards democratic socialism is necessary to fix our rigged economy, first of all. This involves free public college, reduction on military spending, raised minmum wage, public health care, etc. It works extremely well in nations around the world, and I believe it will work in the United States as long as it is a slow process.

In addition, a shift to renewable resources is necessary, as other Western countries have done in order to limit climate change. Solar, hydroelectric and wind power are reliable and will not run out or effect the environment terribly, unlike fossil fuels. Nuclear power should also be used in moderation, similarly to France.

As for dealing with ISIS, oppressing Muslims and advocating for torture is not the way to deal with them. Instead, I support sending ground troops to liberate Syria from ISIS control, then working with the UN to begin the process of gradual Westernization and secularization of the Middle East. Terrorism will still exist, but will be disorganized and infrequent.

The wage gap is also an issue, with racial minorities and women being paid less for the same work than white males. This is a problem that must be undermined.

In order to reduce gun violence, a law should be passed requiring all citizens to acquire a gun license (the process would involve safety classes and psychiatric evaluations). Selling or lending a gun to someone without a license should be a federal offense, but as long as you have a license you are free to own a gun for self-defense or hunting. This would reduce homicide rates and save a lot of lives.
