Fact based education standards.

Teaching a bunch of lies about American exceptionalism and how imperialism is actually good isn’t what I’d call “fact based”

Stop racism in policing

Right like how democrats in nearly all major cities increased police funding and almost none passed any meaningful reform.

Expanded healthcare subsidies

But don’t remotely consider universal healthcare

Preserve democracy

Preserve the status quo which I wouldn’t call a democracy. A democracy enacts the will of the people, democrats don’t even have a democratic primary for their own party.

I think you dropped this:

Democrats & Republicans

  • Bombed kids
  • Tortured innocent people
  • Increased the surveillance state
  • Took money from the poor and working class, and gave it to their rich friends
  • Spent billions on wars, while claiming that they couldn't afford to fix our healthcare or housing problems
  • Boasted about deporting more people than Republicans
  • Backed a Genocide
