How about Dems Starting Their Own Project 2029 . . .

Starting With:
Eliminating Citizens United
Doubling Minimum Wage
Removing President Immunity
Expanding Supreme Court
Supreme Court Term Limits
Taxing Mega Churches
Raising Taxes on Wealthy
Forcing Corporations to Pay Taxes
Women's Healthcare & Rights to Decisions Over Own Body
Protecting LGBTQIA+ Rights
Reversing Global Warming
Banning Assault Weapons
Medicare For All
Tuition Free Public College
Paid Sick Days, Parental Leave, Vacation Days
Make Voting Day a National Holiday
Ending mass incarceration and advancing equal justice under the law.
Protecting the fundamental right to organize
Advancing racial justice and equity

Feel free to add . . . but why can't the Democrats put together a Vision For The Future Document? And shouldn't they?

We need to get through this coup and Constitutional crisis first.

Dems should start working on it now and ask voters for input on what they would like to see in it. By the time it’s ready to unveil people are going to be so sick of p2025 that ds 2029 will be like a giant shining star!!

Richard Nixons witch hunt of everyone in Hollywood and the Government being Communists. On down to all the delusional thinking of Reagan and the Storm Thurmon .

I just do not think we have enough delulus to come up with a plan that encompasses every train of thought but the creator of the plan.

The simple thing of get rid of all the people that answer the phones and replace with a multi-trillion AI that requires new power plants to power it and increase the wait time from 15 minutes to 5 hours and please choose from the following menu items. With no menu for an attendant.

Democrats tend to want to solve problems. GOP really likes creating them.

If I had to formulate a plan it would roll JFK and FDR into it. Along with the AntiBillionaire Tax Bill.
