My thoughts for a "Project 2029" / new Democratic party platform
Might seem whacky now, but once Project 2025 gets rolling, there will be buyer's remorse
* Abolish U.S. Senate filibuster by majority vote
* Take our money back from the billionaires
* Offer universal, single-payer healthcare
* Jobs programs with meaningful, well-paid work
* Make USA safe for girls/women, LGBTQ+, immigrants, minorities
(Codify abortion rights)
* Free/universal public higher education
* Adapt to and slow the climate crisis
* Stop arming Israel
Redemocratize USA (no constitutional amendments needed):
* Enlarge House to 585 voting members after 2030 Census
(Enlarge Electoral College to 688)
* Enlarge U.S. Supreme Court to 15 justices
* Overturn crazy court decisions
* Reverse brain drain in civil service
* Offer D.C. and our territories statehood and better funding
I’m all in. As a New college alum and dedicated reimaginer this sounds good to me.
