A 2020 Platform

I railed on the progressive agenda in a previous post so I thought I’d start to share “my” policy agenda for others to ridicule.

Don’t worry.  It’s not going to all be in one post.  Rather, I’ll try to devote occasional entries to one particular platform topic.

Disclaimers:  I do not have all the answers – nor any answers, for that matter.  I just have some thoughts and a few ideas, none of which are fully-formed legislative solutions.  I don’t expect anyone to agree with me on everything and I’d love to hear thoughtful contrarian ideas.  If the ideas are less than thoughtful, I reserve the right to mock them.

Given my self-described slightly-left-of-center preferences, I will contend that my positions could form the rough basis for a winning platform for Democrats executing one of the preferred 2020 Electoral Strategies.  Your mileage may vary.

Here’s my work-in-progress topic list, in no particular order and likely missing some important ones:

  • The Economy
  • Health Care
  • National Security
  • Foreign Policy
  • Immigration
  • Gun Rights
  • Reproductive Rights
  • Civil Rights
  • Marijuana Legalization
  • Transportation Infrastructure
  • Education
  • Retirement Security
  • Climate Change
  • Science & Technology
  • Government Reform

 Wow.  This could take a while…
