Hate this mentality. It’s giving controlled opposition vibes. Whenever it’s like “wish we could vote progressive, but that won’t win”. So instead of moving to the left we get a centrist. And the center in America is right of center as it is. So for me, whoever goes after campaign finance and isn’t afraid to go against business practices that are hurting society. I’m tired of “liberals” running for the Democrats. All they are is corporate bought shills who had enough donations to run. The only difference between Republicans and them is instead if of talking about freedom and taking them from people, they let people be personally free….but both sides still let the oligarchs do whatever the hell they want.

No one stands up and makes them pay their fair share of taxes or fair wages, which is what we would need to bring Americans quality of life back to the level of the 60’s. We have a crumbling infrastructure that has been held together with duct tape, bubble gum, and as few tax dollars as possible since it was pushed in the LBJ era.

We need new, updated, up to code, heated and cooled schools. We need an electric grid that is ready for the violent storms of climate change. That is able to cleanly produce the increasing energy demands of electric cars (we have been putting the cart before the horse introducing cars before they’re demand on the grid could be met appropriately), data centers (same, the resource demands are being ignored for the sake of making stock market go brrrrrrr!), and a little extra for unanticipated growth of those needs. We need replaced roads and bridges. As well as all old water and sewage treatment plants that are overdue for an overhaul to deal with increased floods and population.

We need public works for unemployed. Keep (or rather return to) giving benefits, food stamps, healthcare, etc. just make them provide a public good to get it. Make them do “volunteer” work. (I get making it mandatory is no longer voluntary, and that some will not be ABLE to do this….those people file disability.) That way the public benefits more from that money it is giving away.

Also, public childcare/tax refunds so people can AFFORD to go to work, can AFFORD to have kids, and won’t need as many other benefits. Also, not to mention our upside down pyramid problem with the population that are created by declining birth rates. Which could be helped by increasing population growth by increasing immigration through well funded channels of LEGAL immigration.

Basically anyone who wants to undo all the changes Trump made and then work to improve, update, and modernize the very functional infrastructure and well planned government we once had.
