ALL DEMOCRATS SHOULD RUN on 'STOP THE WARS', 'REPEAL THE BBB', 'CANCEL THE TARIFFS' and 'IMPEACH TRUMP' !
from NOW THROUGH 2028! ALL POLLS I have seen indicate that the MAJORITY of American voters
support ALL FOUR of those goals !!!
(and the first three out of four of those would actually help to BRING PRICES DOWN!)
((or at least reduce inflationary pressures on prices!))
NO, we probably could not accomplish most of that before 2029,
when we hopefully WILL HAVE a Democratic House and Senate and PRESIDENT---
but that doesn't mean our candidates should not be messaging ALL FOUR of those things NOW,
to build the pressure into 2028!
Trump's "Big Stupid Bill" passed the Senate through 'reconciliation'
thus bypassing the possibility of a filibuster,
and I presume a repeal could be passed the same way---
otherwise a bill reversing everything in the BBB that isn't worth saving, via 'reconciliation'!
(Yes, even if the Democrats manage to retake both houses of congress in 2026,
Trump or his successor would VETO such a bill as long as they are in office---
but that doesn't mean that our legislators should not PASS such a bill---
putting all of the Democrats and especially the Republicans on the record for the next election!)
((Remember how many times the Republican House passed bills
attempting to repeal Obamacare after 2010??
Their attempts were fruitless and went nowhere--- but it did keep their party base revved up!))
I have been very personally disappointed that, so far as I have heard,
I AM the ONLY DEMOCRAT that I know of, who has publicly called for a repeal of the BBB!
(but unfortunately for that case, I hold no public office....)
Seems pretty basic and no-brainer to me, but haven't heard a peep
about such an idea from our party office-holders!
And YES, IMHO such a bill should include a measure upholding
the tax cuts for those of more moderate income, let's say under $200k a year,
although the specific number is open to debate---
but certainly cancelling the tax cuts for the mega-rich, corporations,
and cancelling the medicaid cuts
and the WORK REQUIREMENTS for citizens from 55 to 64 years old,
which was the major change to SNAP and MEDICAID !!!!
If a major potential 2028 Democratic POTUS candidate takes THAT position,
that will certainly be a 'game-changer' for me personally---
and will likely force me to be WITH THEM, whoever is first !!!!
= new reply since forum marked as read
for American voters, by my personal observation...
YES, Trump's list for personal aggrandizement projects is beyond ridiculous.....
(and ALL would be major targets for negative graffiti, if they actually came to be---!
and also worthy of mention by Democratic candidates,
but I believe their emphasis should be placed upon those topics I cited)
maybe everybody is at a grocery store, or on the way to or from....
