Democrats Share Their Wish List for Harris

We posed a question to Democratic National Convention attendees in Chicago: If Kamala Harris wins, what is the first thing you want her to do as president?

Wow. These people have an inflated notion of what a president can do. This is an indictment of our education system.

I hope they realize she needs both houses of congress. Democrats can totally retake the House, but they have a really, really, bad Senate map.

She’s already in office and abortion is not banned

Ask her to do it right now, she is currently in office. Better yet, ask Nancy Pelosi, she seems to be running things behind the scenes.

First day? Declare herself Supreme Leader for life & demand the head of Donald J Trump.

It’ll bring the house down!

Really? Not one person said cut funding to Israel?

Why are attendees at DNC not realizing that nearly none of these are within a president’s powers? Establishing an office of young Americans, that’s fine. Brining the country together, that’s an aspirational goal, fine. Otherwise, these all need acts of Congress. No president can just do these on Day One.

Civics just a little civics module starting in kindergarten and drug and sexual health starting in sixth grade that’s fact based.

Justice for Trumps crimes, secure social security for generations to come, affordable and accessible housing, expand SNAP benefits during inflation, increase subsidies to health insurance marketplace plans, single people deserve tax credits too! 😊 Find a way to end these wars and how can we prepare and respond to the worsening climate crisis? I could keep going but this is a great place to start! ❤
