1. Impeaching the current administration, feeding people,

Healthcare, end our aggression in iran, let the poor national guard go home 🏡

[Lovie777]

2. Caring about each other.............

[BlueSpot]

3. Rooting out corruption

[Chasstev365]

4. Not telling everybody we just need to move on from the Trump/Republican criminal cabal.

No damn it! You can Legislate and investigate to hold people accountable for their serious crimes.

5. reversing income inequality.

Our failure to do this, is the reason we are not the dominant party.

[Quiet Em]

6. Economy

Health care
Civil Rights
Voting Rights
Wages

Wages have simply not kept up with the cost of living. People cannot afford housing, they can't afford health care and I think they are sick and tired of the infrigement of their basic civil rights.

7. Expand the Court - everything else is secondary

Everybody take a good look at your wish lists of priorities.

Now, take a breath, and face the reality that absolutely nothing on your lists is possible without first expanding the court and killing the filibuster to do so.

With the filibuster in place, any bill can be blocked in the senate.

With the current majority on the court, any law that passes can be overturned.

9. So Trump will sign the law expanding SCOTUS?

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. In 2029

I thought that part was obvious.

Democrats only power between 2027-29 is obstructing Trump’s agenda.

Until 2029, nothing on anybody’s wish list, except impeachment hearings, will happen.

[WarGamer]

13. the OP specified 2026-2028

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. 2028 is the presidential election year for an administration that takes power in 2029

Judging by the list in the OP, It still seemed obvious to me that those priorities couldn’t be implemented until a Dem president was in office.

If that wasn’t implied, then the entire OP was unrealistic.

The only power Dems will have from now until January 20, 2029 will be to block Trump’s nominees and agenda, and to investigate his administration and impeach those deserving of impeachment.

That’s it.

They can certainly talk about other priorities, but they won’t be able to do anything about it.

8. Without the office of the POTUS, what can be done?

Certainly no legislation.

[DET]

11. Unrealistic, But...

- Accountability for the Trump administration’s massive corruption and treason and implementation of mechanisms to enforce legal actions on the executive and legislative branches
- Reversing the One Big Bullshit Bill
- Reversing the effective elimination of the Civil Rights Act and implementing enhanced voter protections (through legislative action?)
- Reversing Citizens United and implementing enforceable constraints on corporate and foreign financial contributions (through legislative action?)
- Providing affordable health care to everyone

[Jack Valentino]

12. REPEALING MOST of the Big Ugly Bill, especially the tax cuts for the wealthiest!
