The Democrats should move to the left of Biden on foreign policy, following Trump, and ideally catching up with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Abandon neoliberalism or neoconservativism or whatever, and quit with the expensive foreign wars!
- Healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid)
The Democrats should move to the left and propose Medicaid buy-in for all on a sliding scale per income, thereby creating a system of universal health care.
- Public Health Policy (e.g. Vaccines)
The Democrats should stay with the scientists. No one named Kennedy should
ever be allowed near their party again, regardless of politics. No Kings.
Explain the left position. The Democrats should make it publicly understood that only laborers making reasonable incomes pay this tax, which has been used as a piggy bank for every other government expenditure, and now the government laments they're running out of money, having never invested it in anything good. Keep it solvent, but keep it
real, ideally with sensible immigration reform (see below).
Prepare to move right. The Democrats failed to lay out an exit plan for affirmative action. Everyone could see that the poison of racism was being drawn out, but clearly there was reason for whites to become nervous about being discriminated against when there is no objective criterion saying "yep, we've arrived at equality, no need to worry about this here". Fix that.
Various directions. Establish and coordinate Five Year Plans with China, making reasonable negotiations to plan how much of what is imported, and to provide some assurance of stable commerce. Do the same with some other countries as feasible, and be friendly to those with which long-term planning is less feasible. Formally acknowledge the 10% baseline tariff as a National Sales Tax, reduce it slightly, but don't make it so imports are cheaper than U.S. produced goods after taxes. Place high tariffs and export duties on all bulk fossil fuels of every variety, except for long term contracts with Canada or Mexico via pipeline, and accommodations for islands such as Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Invest heavily in research, including graphene research, to repurpose culm waste and coal mines to generating strong fibers for infrastructure.
Move left. Or is it right? Increase legal immigration and make it a workable option. "Amnesty" should apply to illegals in the sense that they should not be disqualified, but they should receive no benefit for proving they violated laws. Arrange to remediate demographic issues (i.e. a Lesser Replacement) and save Social Security. Recognize that gene flow from the rest of the world, especially Africa, is entirely normal for human populations and has been going on for a very long time. Assure every American citizen the right to keep a spouse and children in country with MINIMAL paperwork, in the name of family values. Legitimize and fairly pay migrant workers.
Right. Left? Be happy Trump pushed Europe to pay for its own military. Stay out of foreign wars. Restore foreign aid, spent wisely to promote goodwill and ensure that refugees from around the world find safe harbor BEFORE they reach the United States, at genuinely safe areas. Call it the Wall of Food.
This is going to be tough for everyone. There is so much corruption I don't know how to get to the bottom of it all. But a big part is that the public can CREATE value by generating their own forums and opinions, outside of professional ads and manipulation.
Left. Restore science. Let the truth be known. Invest heavily in renewables.
Right. Evaluate everything critically. If any project involving a train or rail or monorail checks out as 100% legitimate, cancel it anyway under the assumption the auditors were corrupt. But fund research and look for ways to make cheaper materials available to states for construction.
