"Good grief" indeed. Looking forward to seeing your "blue wave" in action
You're a little worked up there, Charlie. Let's take it down a notch, eh?
Although you didn't state any policy positions, I am generally familiar with the Left's positions on the topics you listed. Please state your positions if they differ from the mainstream Left's.
While I don't disagree with every policy position espoused by the mainstream Left, I envision a much more limited role for the government. Government regulation should be very narrowly circumscribed to address specific, identifiable, preventable harms. I'm open to regulating certain types of securities trading practices if they can potentially crash the entire economy. In particular, I'd favor more aggressive enforcement against trading practices which externalize risk on to taxpayers. I'm also open to regulating industries which may permanently damage the environment, so long as the harm is concrete and identifiable, and the regulation does not needlessly hamper commerce (the EPA is a good example of how not to go about regulating such industries). I
do not envision a direct government role in health insurance, except perhaps to prevent insurers from ripping off customers, and generally to prevent large insurance companies from second-guessing doctors (a simple statement from a doctor that something is "medically necessary" ought to be conclusive, so as to forever prevent insurance companies from managing treatment). We can talk about safety nets (or how to improve existing programs), but generally I don't consider "universal healthcare" to be a viable, or even desirable objective.
Unions have a place, but they need to fund themselves. The Supreme Court got it right in
Janus. Hopefully unions will begin to refocus their efforts on union members and worry less about national politics.
Education (at all levels – primary, secondary, postsecondary, graduate, etc.) is a very difficult issue. Unfortunately, this is an issue where political correctness does the most damage. At the primary and secondary levels, Illegal immigration has destroyed urban public school systems beyond repair. Kids can get a better education and have more fulfilling/productive social lives outside of that setting. I don't necessarily see charter schools or vouchers as a solution, but the current model of public education is a complete waste of money. I would suggest bringing back vocation tracks, but I suspect SJWs won't like the optics of Calculus classes filled with White and Asian students with most black and brown students crammed in a Electrical Maintenance / Welding / Construction / Autoshop / Etc. I've recently heard various local politicians (e.g. superintendents and mayors) revisit the topic of vocational training. We'll see what happens.
As for postsecondary education, we simply have too many people going to college. Somewhere along the line, educators got this idea that college itself was the ultimate endgame for all students. We let them flood our colleges with stupid, immature, non-intellectuals, all of whom had a transactional view of education – that is, you spend time and money at the school, and the school "gives" you an education / degree. This has driven up the cost of higher education, driven down the quality of education, and depreciated the value of a college degree to near worthlessness. In fact, when I meet someone with a degree in "Feminist Studies" or a MA in creative writing, I have to resist seeing them as a certified "Educated Idiot" (of course I try to give everyone a fair shot). To make matters worse, college professors often espouse subversive, divisive, nihilistic, anti-American ideologies which do nothing more than sow discord. In short, higher education as presently implemented is a cancer upon our nation. The solution pretty much involves destroying academia as we know it. Obviously we need our best and brightest to contribute in STEM fields, but a large swath of disciplines (particularly those in the Humanities) basically need to be axed. We most definitely do not need "free college for everyone."
Not that any of that resonates with you. I'm sure you want open borders, free everything for everyone, pronouns for every interest group, and highly intrusive government intervention across the board. Thankfully, the American people have voted to elbow drop the Democratic Party into submission. Please, cry more
