It is important that Kamala Harris continues to define and expose Trump. But it may not be enough to secure a victory

These are valuable policies. I believe, however, that her chances of winning improve if she expands that agenda to include popular solutions to the most important economic and political realities facing this country.

The American people want change, and that’s what she must deliver.

Here are just a few ideas that are not only excellent policy, but are extremely popular among voters across the political spectrum:

Not gonna copy all his suggestions but click the link and find out.

I've been saying the same thing for a while now though.

Everyone knows what trump would mean. It doesn't need to be the only thing Kamala talks about

We all know she's not trump, she needs to start giving voters substantial policy that voters want and the country desperately needs.

But her corporate donors might get upset!!! /s

Better to let the media have the horse race it wants and cater to the non-existent "center." /s

The Democrats have learned fuck-all in 30 fucking years except who butters their bread.

Newt Gingrich was cheating on his wife with cancer while pushing investigations into Clinton for a blowjob (because all their other investigations turned up fuck-all so they had to try to catch him in a lie so they could say "see, he'll lie on the stand, you can't trust his word."). The fact that they've spent 30 years "reaching across the aisle" and learning nothing says everything.

I think America has been in a deep moral crisis since it's inception; should we be evil, or just a little evil. It's easy to get people to agree to just a wee bit of more evil and here we are 200 years later with the magic of compound interest.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Definitely less evil, towards Americans. But they've made vast strides in outsourcing evil through globalization and the military industrial complex.
