Are these on the ballot? The only thing that will happen on this list if the dems win big is that the GOP will have less power. The Democrats have had the ability to pass all of this before, and chose not to. In fact, they built up a lot of what people oppose now.
Revolution is necessary because the capitalist state itself is not neutral, but a product of the existing economic system and the social relations therein.
What makes you think that revolution will make things better?
Revolution is the only thing that has led to improved material conditions, even in the United States. Did you fall asleep during history class, or has it been so whitewashed and sanitized at this point that people don't even know their own history?
Haha, so the various colour revolutions made life better? The Iranian revolution has seen them move ahead in leaps and bounds? You have no idea if your side will come out on top
Some material conditions improved, yes. Overall, no. The mass movement against the Shah was successful but the working class failed to control power for various reasons, to put it succinctly.
Do you believe that the Capitalists, bourgeoisie, and fascists will just give you rights and an improved life out of the goodness of their heart? This has never happened. Working class power threatens the system, and if threatened, Capitalism will attempt to squash that working class power.
People think there's some golden age of Capitalism which is progressive and bends to the will of the people. This is a fantasy, and has never existed ever in history.
Because worker revolution consistently improves the lives of the working class around the world. It's a necessary step to move forward.
Sorry, I shouldn't have led with such an open question. What i meant to say was what makes you think that it will be a workers revolution? Could the rich or the religous not hijack the revolution to further their own ends?
The rich already control the state, they don't need a revolution to do so. More workers than ever support socialism in the US, and socialist organizing is rising.

No? I'm posting a bit less than I normally do, actually, and I'm not paid to be a socialist, I pay dues to be one. Can you take your conspiracy theory somewhere else, or perhaps validate it with anything other than vibes?
