Interesting listen.

  1. Housing First - the right to shelter
  2. A Civilian Labor Corps - A meaningful work guarantee, essential work with high community value but low profit incentives that therefore won't be addressed by the private sector
  3. Medicare for All - Healthcare as a human right
  4. Election Integrity - Getting money out of politics
  5. Climate Action - Social Security for the planet

All of this sounds great but there needs to be more safeguards against Presidential abuse. It's clear that electing the wrong person to the office can mean none of the Federal laws mean shit.

how the left can win.

  1. elect someone that's actually on the left -not just symbolicly, to President of the U.S.
  2. pack the supreme court
  3. have them overturn citizen's united & buckley v valeo.
  4. then they can realisticly pursue all other important issues

Nothing else can happen until we accomplish steps 1-3.

They have to vote for people they like in the primaries and it’s hard enough to get them to vote in the general.

5 non-negotiables of the left. Three to earn back the trust of the American people to win back the country and two more to salvage our Democracy

Democrats need to stop lying they are “the Left”.
