(3,256 posts)and about 15% (+/-5) of the people nodding their heads.
That is not policy. There is no groundswell. There are no marches, demonstrations, media story bonanzas, documentaries, speeches from opinion leaders from diverse constituencies etc. to show that there is a consensus.
At the present moment, it is BS's wish list that a minority of people want to force on a majority. Primarily Northern White ultra liberals who want to hammer those ideas on the rest who are not willing to adopt them.
The reason people won't adopt them is because there is no plan. No budget. No action diagram. No Gantt chart. No spreadsheet. No legislative plan. Nothing. What is being told to people is, "We know these ideas are great because BS said so and you better bow down to them." Democracy doesn't work this way.
Give us a DETAILED plan with budgets down to pennies. Who are the winners and losers? Who will be taxed more and by how much? How much will the national debt increase? What will be the effect on existing businesses and their employees? What will be the economic impact by year for the next 10 years?
If I were floating it, I'd do my homework before the slogans and platitudes.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
