This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This part is called: RENEWING AMERICAN LEADERSHIP
Only one party understands that we can only be strong in the world when we are strong and united at home. 1/10

In every region and on every issue, American security and interests are at greater peril—and our rivals at greater advantage—than four years ago. 2/10

We must meet the world as it is today, not as it was before President Trump’s destruction. That’s why we cannot simply aspire to restore American leadership. We must reinvent it for a new era. 3/10 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanLeadership

#Democrats will revitalize the power and purpose of American diplomacy to compete in a more contested world. We will lead not just with the example of our power, but with the power of our example. 4/10 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanLeadership

#Democrats will place values at the center of our foreign policy. And we will reinvent alliances, partnerships, and international institutions to meet common challenges that no country can face on its own. 5/10 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanLeadership

The world today looks very different from the post-WWII period that gave birth to our alliance system. But these changes make our alliances more—not less—crucial to our success.

We will ensure that our military has no peer. We owe it to our men & women in uniform and to the American public to spend our defense dollars more wisely and strategically—focused on building a force that can deter & win the conflicts of the 21st century. 7/10

And we will use force only when necessary, always as a last resort, and with the informed consent of the American people. 8/10 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanLeadership

And, most importantly, #Democrats will ensure that the reinvention of American leadership abroad prioritizes and accelerates our renewal at home. 9/10 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanLeadership

#Democrats will root a disciplined foreign policy in the needs and aspirations of the American middle class and the imperative of building a more dynamic, fair, and resilient society—the ultimate wellspring of our power. 10/10 #DemPartyPlatform
