    The party policy platform gets redrafted every 4 years, so the 24 plan runs until the 28 plan is drafted. SOURCE Same plan as ever:

    Tax the rich

    Remove money from politics

    Fight poverty

    Support bodily autonomy and human rights

    Regulate industry

    Uphold the laws even on against our own


    In addition I think it’s very clear that they will recontinue the USAID program that saved millions of lives overseas, and despite the irreparable harm of the Trump admin I think it will be well received when they do. They will also stop enforcing the Trump Tariffs which he never even had the power to implement in the first place.

    They have not had enough senators (more than 48) to do much of anything outside of bipartisan bills and cramming everything into funding bills for over 13 years. If they can accomplish this, though, I think positive foreign relations will naturally form and that the majority of trade and mutual defence, though not all of it, will return.

      The article clarified “Democrats” as in the ones who went to Germany, not the party as a whole.

      So there was answers from AOC as well Newsom, and they were vastly different

        Newsom is fucking clueless. Whether or not Trump is gone in three years (and none of us are banking on that), the voters who elected him, twice, are still around.

        This is the thing that way too many Americans still can’t their head around. Our problem isn’t with Trump. Not really. Our real problem is America. And we’re done getting burned for being your friends.

          Buddy, when Gallup stopped polling it, he was like 29% approval? Maybe 27%?

          our problem is America

          The problem is oligarchs and that neoliberals and Republicans both tried to give them anything they wanted for 30 years.

          That’s over, the neoliberls lost the DNC a year ago. Like, I get your feeling, 16 months ago I felt the same.

          But a lot of shit has happened you don’t seem up to speed on

            Buddy, we’re up to speed on all of it. And I’m glad, I’m glad for all of you that Trump’s approval is cratering, that progressives might have a chance to take over the DNC. Those are good things. I’m excited to see the resistance coming out of Minnesota. I’m happy that there is a real hunger for change.

            But you’re not out here with us. You don’t see what’s going on outside the US.

            We’re done. We’re done with your bullshit. We want the best for you, we want decent Americans to get their country back… But it’s like wanting to see your brother kick the drug habit and sort his shit out. It doesn’t mean you’re suddenly going to let him watch the house for a week.

            Say you kick out Trump again… Why is this time going to be any different from 2020? From 2008? As a nation, you guys have a problem, and that road to recovery, and rebuilding trust, is going to be a lot longer than just getting your six month chit. We’ll cheer for you, but we’re done saddling our fortunes to the whims of a bunch of racist morons in Iowa or fucking wherever. The world is pivoting away from the US, because we can no longer afford to put our trust in a nation whose voters simply do not take the responsibility that comes with all that power seriously.

            The part of Carney’s speech that struck the strongest chord with the world wasn’t when he said that the old order is over. It’s when he reminded us all that it was only ever a compromise to begin with. We accepted a world led by the US, because it was just good enough and easy enough, and we put up with all the costs and burdens that came with that. And yeah, a lot of that is on us, because we didn’t want to do the hard work of building something better. But it was never exactly great having our fortunes saddled to yours. Do you know that in 2008 Canadian banks basically rode out the financial crisis unscathed, because unlike the US, we didn’t massively deregulate our financial sector in the 80s? And yet, we were still plunged into a recession, because we get to eat shit for every bad decision our ally makes. Do you know that when Trump came after us in his first term with all his tariffs, we literally just dusted off the playbooks we’ve written over decades of dealing with that exact scenario, because we’re just used to the US deciding every few years that it’s time to beat up our economy?

            This goes so much deeper than just Trump, and until Americans can see that, there’s never going to be any hope of rebuilding the trust you’ve lost.

              You’re right, but solving the immediate problem is a necessary precondition to solving the bigger, deeper problem. And we haven’t solved the immediate problem yet.

          But no one is talking about “the party” except you…

          Because you just read the headline, and even after I explicitly clarified for you, it still seems like you don’t understand.

          Edit:

          Not to mention the 2024 platform was Biden/Kamala and before Martin took over the party.

          Like, logically what you did makes absolutely zero sense bud. Those platforms are for if the Dems candidate wins…
