Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumThe one thing that is bothering me about ALL our various candidates
is not the programs they are proposing.. but the lack of concentration on what a job it is going to be to try and just get the programs back in that Trump has kicked out. The one thing he has been relentless on, is trying to completely wipe out all of the Obama administration accomplishments, and the accomplishments that other administrations had put forward.. including not only Democratic administrations, but Republican administrations (less we all forget, it was the Nixon administration that put forward the EPA as an example)
There is so so much work to putting our government back upright.. he has gutted so many things people do not even know what is missing..
This is a true disaster waiting for the next Democratic President..

(5,223 posts)All the great ideas being discussed by our candidates deserve attention. BUT, I want one of them to talk about turning around all the damage done by 45. That will take up the first part of any new administration. Amy touched on it, and I want to see what the rest will do.

(31,810 posts)And it's also why I want them to be as respectful to each as possible. Who wins? Who knows?
Assume it's one of the 24 and they beat the summamabeyotch.
There are people in safe blue States (senators), folks not in office so low risk -
Who have really strong credentials for the Cabinet.
Let me put it out of my ass (not who I'm supporting - I have no pick) but let's just say Biden DOES win. Or Warren?
Then they pick a VP.
Castro, Harris, Buttigieg, Booker - these are people who could easily come into the cabinet, get up to speed and LEAD this country to a better future. They would also have the knowledge and know 'how' to fix some of this crazy shit that has occurred.
Good, bad, indifferent - Booker and Buttigieg and Castro know how to fix broken cities.
Harris could fix Justice Department.
That's just a few - but yep - we have a strong knowledge base.
They just can't go after each other like banshees. It will hurt the country's progress to fix and then move forward in January 2021.

(62,406 posts)can be reversed in most part by simply reversing some executive orders and filling empty positions in various departments with good dedicated people.
It will take some time and major effort for sure. I don't think there will be a need for legislation and a slog through congress and the courts to get things headed in the right direction again.
But I am no expert and I could be very wrong.
