10. We should use the holidy to advance our Democratic agenda globally

We should use the holiday not to celebrate the overwhelmingly-white oppressive attributes of our country's shame, but instead to promote the transformation of America to integrate with other countries in an overall progressive movement. We need to negate the concept of "statehood" and "nationalism" and instead introduce a holiday to migrate our current heavily-damaged Constitutional cesspool to a more inclusive, global democracy, where everyone in the world has a vote for anything. The key is to ensure we resist the GOP at EVERY turn.

In short, celebrating the past is, well, passe. Celebrate the integration into a truly global society that de-emphasizes US-centric colonialism and distributes our assets and wealth to everyone. THAT would be a holiday worth celebrating!
