A surefire way for the Dems to win up and down in a tsunami on November 3

Last edited Sat Sep 19, 2020, 09:46 AM - Edit history (1)

Ds:

Please consider a "Contract with America"-like strategy to unite at all levels and show the country a cogent strategy to get us out of the numerous messes we are in. For example, it could cover:

*Covid-19 action
*Economic stabilization and recovery
*Race relations
*Unite the USA (no more red and blue states...as BHO said "We are THE UNITED STATES of America" )
*International relations improvement
*Climate issues
*Investigations into foreign influence in US politics and Trump corruption
*Immigration reform
*Gun reform
*Police reform
*etc

I am not a political expert; but, I do remember how effective the R's "Contract with America" was in 1994 that resulted in devastation for the Ds. It was hokey, but it showed unity. Most of all, it gave American voters the notion that Rs had a plan that was easily understood by most.

Find the x number of things that all Ds can agree with that appeal to the greatest number of voters and broadcast it loud and wide. And KEEP IT SIMPLE.

The conditions in 2020 are far more ripe than in 1994. The Ds could invoke this kind of strategy/tactic to wipe out the Reputincans in a Blue Tsunami at all levels on November 3.

My humble suggestion on a sad Saturday morning. RIP RBG, but winning at all levels is the least we can do to honor you.

Democratic voters tend to be better informed and not 1-2 issue voters like the RePutinicans.

BUT, we can commit to reach agreement on things x days after we win, and make big fanfare out of it.

It doesn't have to be everything, just the things to get us elected that all Ds everywhere can agree (e.g., how badly Trump FUBAR'ed the panademic, and we will do (a), (b), and (c)."

I admit it's a stunt, but as a voter, I sure as hell would be relieved if I knew that at least one party was providing cogent solutions to my greatest concerns.

This has to happen or the US is totally prone to being taken over by propaganda paid for by other hostile countries.

Also

We need to plug all the holes in our constitution that the trump regime showed us are vulnerabilities. We need the power to arrest ANYONE who does not answer a subpoena to either house of congress or to a court.

Furthermore,

We need to make it a capital crime for any person, state or agency or law to interfere with the right of any person to vote.
