I think there is a lot to discuss here.

    • Do what I could to stop the passing of the SCOTUS Citizen’s United ruling
    • Write a letter to then Senator Obama that there’s a major recession coming and that holding the banks accountable and buoying the lower and middle class is a better option than a bailout of the private sector
    • Warn about various impending natural disasters around the world to try to save as many folks as I could

    Do I just get one shot or can I keep trying until I get it right?

    Basically anything that reduces Republican power in the US is probably a win overall.

      So, the Republican shift toward the far right was already in full swing by the 2000s. You’d need to go back to at least Reagan to head that off. Trickle down economics, Two Santas, etc. was already decades in the making. My dad had already been fully brainwashed by talk radio in the 90s.

      But on the flip side, the Democratic establishment has made it painfully clear even to this day that their only priority has always been to maintain the status quo for the privileged NIMBY class. The Republican party didn’t need to do anything to keep unaffordability rising, they all want to maintain the housing market bubble to protect the wealth of boomers.

      If it’s just a single shot, then preventing the Brooks Brothers Riot would be the best use of your time.

      All it would take is an industrial sized can of pepper spray. Just like the kind police regularly use on leftwing protesters.

    Be really obnoxious about the ballot format in the Florida 2000 election until they either fix it or news outlets do a good job educating people about how to correctly vote for Gore

    I’m going to visit the Cincinnati Zoo in 2016 and stop this one kid kid from falling into a gorilla enclosure.

    Considering I’d just be some guy, I’d invest all of my money in Nvidia and Bitcoin then when I get back and have millions, I’d spend it on passing wealth taxes and raising the minimum wage.

    Go back bit future and prevent the Columbine shooters. Done some studying on that day. Couple flat tires and a motail cocktail in the basement they hung out in before the shooting would have ended that.

    The other half of states that do not have ballot initiatives should have them. So the drug war would have ended peacefully. Contaminated overdoses and corruption would have been prevented.
