(346 posts)I see democrats, at every opportunity, hammer out our "agenda" again and again. How can people miss it?
We want everyone to be able to vote
We want everyone to be able to afford food and housing
We want everyone to have health care
We want effective gun control legislation
We want no foreign wars or regime changes
We want to codify a woman's right to choose
We want billionaires to pay their far share of taxes
We want less influence of money in politics
We want pedophiles and rapists to be held accountable for their crimes
We want people to be able to express themselves without fear of retribution
We want public spaces (including schools) to be free from religious indoctrination
We want immigration to be controlled humanely and sensibly
I could go on, but maybe the problem is we have TOO MUCH of an agenda. Why not use a simple term to describe what it is? A representative democracy.
