In reality the Dems will do none of those things though. They won't nationalize anything because they are neoliberals. They won't fully defund ICE because they want racists to vote for them too. They'll just reduce the budget and maybe stop putting kids in cages. They won't shut down funding for the exec branch because they'll say it is "irresponsible".

More things they'll never do:

  • Demilitarise and defund the police
  • Provide free public healthcare and education for all
  • Raise taxes on billionaires
  • Stop mass surveillance programs
  • Reform the electoral system to allow proportional representation
  • Properly regulate and tax corporations
  • Stop providing weapons to their genocidal allies

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

Shutting down funding for the executive program means cutting pretty much every program the government has, if you're not going to reformat it. Which is not implied.

They should still do it and bring the country to a standstill if necessary. If extreme measures aren't applicable now, when will they be? It'll cause some short term pain, but it'll get everyone out in the streets.

The person who posted the tweet in this post who suggested cutting funding was a Republican and now is a independent
