I hope the Dems pass everything we've ever wanted -- increasing marginal tax rates for the highest tax brackets, medicare for all, UBI, high speed rail, carbon tax, impeach the president, abolish the electoral college, the whole enchilada -- and force Trump to veto them all. Then, let AOC run on "we're gonna pass all those again but if you elect me, this time I'll sign them all." More than anything, I want the Dems to provide a clear vision for what they intend to actually do, rather than what they intend to prevent.

- Roe v Wade comes when there is useful president. At that time, expand the court to 13 members and fill it up.
- AI - couldn't care less
- Data centers - Distraction outside of forcing them to fully pay for the resources they consume at the highest possible rates.
- Healthcare for All - Also for the new president
- Student Debt - New president
- Iran - Already suggested ending that; Definitely cut Venezuela loose, and leave Cuba the fuck alone
you do realize a lot of these things, like removal from office, would require a good amount of republican votes?
abolish DHS, tax the rich, fund social housing, end the war, end all funding and sales to Israel, fund and fully staff the antitrust dept, fund climate resilience and the green new deal, create a jobs guarantee, pass the PRO Act
Cost of living. I’m drowning and providing for my child is my #1 priority.
That and stopping the kidnapping of people off the streets by masked thugs
I hope they investigate everyone in Trump's political / financial circles, and get as many of them to flip on Trump, as possible...so that when he's finally out of office, they can drop the hammer on his ass.
