"Regulation on drugs prices"; fantastic stop price gouging insulin.
"Justice reform - ban sale of military surplus to police
Remove qualified immunity for police
Decriminalize marijuana" All good stuff. Police can do good stuff without military weapons.
"Eliminate cash bail"
Eliminate sentencing minimums" All for. Stop monetizing our prisons. Wealthy people never see a day in jail when they pay for bail but cash poor folk will sit in jail for no other reason than they can't afford not too.
" Place sympathetic judges on the bench" we should all want that. No more good ole boy system.
" Eliminate religious exemptions " I'm not against. Religious exemptions have been taken advantage of in many cases.
" Environmental Justice: "Democrats will lower families' energy bills by making energy-saving upgrades to up to two million low-income households and affordable and public housing units within five years" Great many other spots of the world are trying to do what they can to be less destructive to the environment. It should ALWAYS be our goal to improve then where we can, even if it hurts a wallets in the short term.
" Increase ease of voting: " We will make voting easier and more accessible for all Americans by supporting automatic voter registration, same-day voter registration, early voting, and universal vote-from-home and vote-by-mail options. " This should always be a goal of ours. Why is it so hard for some to vote in this country? If Dems cheat with mail in then...well...Repub's just cheat too. Boom even.
" Eliminate all private financing from federal elections, includes PACs, corporations, etc via support for a constitutional amendment." Fine by me. Anything to Try to get special interest out of politics.
" Expand unemployment
Expand welfare
Expand government
Quote: " Democrats will extend significant aid to state and local governments, school districts, and public and nonprofit colleges and universities,..." I'm not educated enough on welfare or unemployment to know what the current pros and cons are. I absolutely support increasing support to local gov and schools.
" $15 minimum wage" $7.25 in the years 2020 and beyond is not enough to with inflation and increase cost of expenses from 20-30 years ago. Is $15 the answer? Idk.
"Assault weapons and high capacity magazine bans. Online gun and ammo sales banned."
I wouldn't bat an eye. Never used any. As long as the police don't have any than citizens shouldn't either.
" Open borders - no raids or enforcement actions at places of business, courthouses, schools, basically no enforcement anywhere. Reunite families, no detention, etc etc. " I'm not for open borders. Don't see how the benefits me and Americans. We can't help everyone in the world. However, we can improve our techniques of cracking down on it like what was suggested.
"PreK for all Americans - expanded tax credits for "low/middle class" for child expenses/preK/child care" That would be huge in helping eliminate child care costs (which is exponential) for less fortunate families. Allow the parents to work.
"Ban for profit private charter schools from receiving federal funds, no private school vouchers." This is a thing? If it's private it has no business getting fed funds.
"Free tuition at all colleges and universities for families making less than 125,000. Make all 2 year community colleges will be tuition free. " This is how you combat wealth inequality. Stop installing a system where only the current middle class wealthy can afford higher education. High Ed is what puts people in place to succeed financially. Let's expand its access to those non wealthy.
"Allow transgenders in the military. "
"Net neutrality"
Trans in the military is an issue? If they want to fight for the country let them. Isn't it more the merrier when it comes to our forces? And a big HELL yes to Net neutrality. The internet should be a resource that can't be restricted and monetized in that way.
"Stand up to China on trade."
Once again but hell yes.
