(55,463 posts)Voting rights, campaign financing, the 140 traitors sitting in Congress, the economy and economic justice to name a few.
We'll tinker and marginally improve voting rights, campaign financing we'll make little progress other than public reporting.
The economy depends on the pandemic, so I guess there's hope, but it will be 12 months before a real upturn can begin.
$15 min wage will be a good start, but good luck finding growth.
The 140 will be a problem. I expect less than 10 to be expelled, if that.
What gives me hope? Corporate America is fighting back on authoritarianism. They know their cash flow depends on the masses having spending power, and freedom is the basis for consumerism.
Can Joe Biden keep the economy afloat? They won't let him have any big successes, it will be a barely-made-it construction of the Republican press that is reminiscent of the Clinton years, 1992-2000.
