What do you think the Dems should do when they take over? This is just a part of what I want done.

Do not bring down the deficit, Repiglicans have proved that does not matter. The first person to mention it can fuck off and you know the media will make it a big thing. They need to go after the crimes this administration has committed and the money they have made needs to be seized. Also we paid for his fucking tariffs and every American deserve it be paid back with extra in THEIR pockets. Tax every fucking billionaire. REMOVE THE CAP . At the first threat to leave America seize their fucking assets. Reform the supreme court and no fucking lifetime appointments in any office. Every judge needs to be hired and fired on their own merits not appointed by a president. Restrict the power of the president to undo what has been done, make them prove it benefits the people, not a fucking corporation.

End interest on student loans or even better forgive them. The main thing is get Americans Medicare for All with every fucking cut those bastard have made restored.

And that word is ruthlessness. Brutal, unapologetic ruthlessness at enacting Democratic policies with a healthy side of legal, ruthless retribution.

struggling economically. They were struggling before Trump came into office. We need to put up votes to reverse Trump's policies, and also policies that go beyond it. If we do that, we will win in 28. If we don't, we could lose. Holding the Trump administration accountable for their abuses will happen, but that won't win us the election in 28.
