There are a lot of easy and popular public policy wins we could go after right now
But we are all too hung up on hating the other side and the horse race to force our elected officials to do anything about it
Want examples? A small UBI, mental health care access, educational access including early childhood and before and after school care, shoring up social security, medicare, and medicaid, expansion of medicare to cover everyone who wants it,
immigration reform with guest worker programs and a path to citizenship, adoption reform to make adoption way easier and without sacrificing safety, ending mass incarceration, beefing up gun safety protections, police reform,
infrastructure investment in traditional infrastructure like highways and bridges and emerging like high speed trains, robotics and AI
I got a list 10 times this long and I think about it way more than I think about any person regardless of the position that person holds. At some point, we all need to look in the mirror and stop blaming someone else
If we aren't asking for these things -- demanding them -- loud and on the regular, aren't we part of the problem?
