I don’t know who ‘progressive leadership’ is, but these are all things that Biden and Harris have openly talked about along with others like Elizabeth Warren, with the exception perhaps of defunding the police, which definitely seems to have been a strong message from other progressives.
The message you suggest would probably be a lot more palatable to people if it weren’t crowded out by this stuff.
- DangitBobby 5y agoI'm not at all saying that the latter half (police defining, tech regulation, gun control) are not part of the platform. I'm merely pointing out that the other things ("progressive policies such as free high-quality daycare, schools, health care for everybody") are definitely part of the platform. Though the healthcare reform feels conspicuously absent from the current agenda.
- zepto 5y ago> Though the healthcare reform feels conspicuously absent from the current agenda. That leaves free daycare and some unspecified improvement to ‘schools’. I’m sure they are part of the platform and I’m sure they are trying to allocate money to some unspecified implementation, but those are pretty muted and low on the list it seems.
