(2,566 posts)Show me any candidate that has a clear 5-point plan (or 10 points, if you prefer). I'm not talking about some 300 page white paper written by some contractor, full of equivocations and contingencies. I'm talking about, "If Democrats are elected, we promise to put top priority on these 5 things."
And I'm not talking generalizations like "affordability", "national security", "quality of life". I'm talking about real, tangible specific actions. What are Democrats going to do, specifically, if we give them power once again? Tell me 5 things that will be different in my life if Democrats are in control.
What, specifically, are they committed to doing about the billionaires and the abuse of the economic power they hold? What, specifically, are they going to do to restore constitutional rule so the next Republicans can't just break it as easily as Trump did. What, specifically , are they going to do about a SCOTUS that has obviously been corrupted, and a system that allows all these extreme RWres to be on the court? (If the Justices were nominated by Presidents who came to office with the most votes, the only RWer on the court would by Thomas (appointed by GHW Bush, who did get a majority. The other 5 RW extremists were all nominated by Presidents who took office LOSING the popular vote.)
Tell us specifically what will be done about corporations off shoring jobs and profits and paying no taxes here? Tell us how the EPA and CDC will be put back together in a sustainable way.
Etc.
