Democrats: Where are the Big Ideas?

[Oyster69]

As we saw at the DNC, the Dems are jubilant right now -- but only because they have a good chance of winning. Nobody seems to talk much about what they'll do after winning. There is no Dem counterpart to Project 2025. There is no Vision Thing. Nobody sees Harris as a transformative figure like they saw Obama in 2008 -- all anyone expects of her is that she will steer more or less the same centrist pro-corporate economic-neoliberal-and-globalist course as Biden -- and as every Dem back to Clinton. Just one more damned DLC DINO. There will be no reversal of the trend to ever-greater wealth inequality, no threat to the political power of the rich and the corporations. Nobody is wetting the carpets of corporate boardrooms for fear Harris should win this. They should be. The Dems should be a party that puts the fear into them, like it was under FDR.

Out of nearly 400 million people, these two are the cream of the crop.

For years public opinion surveys have indicated majority support for a more progressive tax system.

What Republicans call "class war" and "the politics of envy" is the Democrats' strongest isue.
