The way to fight off the fascists in 2024 is not simply by fighting the fascists. The biggest danger to Democrats is not how many people might vote for Trump; our biggest danger is how many people might stay home.

The way for Democrats to win in 2024 is to offer a Much Better Deal: Universal healthcare; Tuition free college and tech school; Child care; Paid family leave; A guaranteed living wage. Release from the economic anxiety that shackles most people.

Where does the money come to pay for all this? I see nothing but expenditures here.

Same money we spend now - but no longer spent on tax cuts for the very wealthy, corporate subsidies, or a bloated defense budget. Also, all the things I mention there will INCREASE our revenue because they will help people succeed.

These won’t generate enough to cover all this. Much of the cost of these plans will be placed on employers. How does that work? Cutting bloated budgets is great - I assume you plan to audit all spending not just defense? And eliminate all waste before implementing anything.
