In reply to the discussion: if Blue Wave happens, what is the first thing Dems should do? [View all]ooky
(10,931 posts)40. Get our 2020 Democratic platform agenda on the table in the form of House bills
with i's dotted and t's crossed, so the people can clearly see what we can do with a trifecta victory in 2020. Affordable health care for all, Dreamers permanent status and path to citizenship, humane immigration law, shore up social security and Medicare, affordable education, infrastructure investment and jobs, paid for by taking back the 1.5 trillion the Republicans stole from us with their tax scam. Real, detailed proposals that voters can digest the benefits and the costs.
We won't have the votes to get them through into law during 2019 and 2020, but we can at least make it clear to everyone how the country will benefit from a Democratic controlled Congress and White House.
