That's all they've got.

Well, all they're willing to expose. Plenty of socialist/communist stuff, but they want to keep that under wraps.

Well that's all we need to do. But don't worry, the platform will highlight policy differences with the GOP where the Dems enjoy majority support

1) Common sense gun control, including reinstating the assault weapons ban, registration of all guns, and greater enforcement of existing laws

2) Ensuring that carried interest is taxed at the same rate as ordinary income. Repealing Trump's tax cuts

3) Strong support of NATO and our European Allies

4) Common sense border/immigration policies, including a DREAM Act with a citizenship path, increased immigration judges, and defined asylum policies that make sense. Increased support of Central American governments in an attempt to stem the flow of refugees.

5) Redistricting that ensures that one person, one vote is implemented with as equal impact as possible across all jurisdictions. Making it easier to vote, not harder.

6) Greater support for Climate change mitigation efforts, including the conservative cap and trade capitalist solution

7) A comprehensive solution to health care, including cost controls and a public option accessible to all.

8) Expanded non-discrimination policies covering many other groups and applying to all taxpayer funded and commercial employment

9) Sensible regulation of industries where demand is not price-elastic, such as health care, education, etc.

10) Net neutrality and public internet co-ops that will be barred from selling content.

Good Lord. If they ran openly on that list and won we would truly be doomed as a country.

assuming no faithless electors ...
trump, in all likelihood, just needs to pick off one of the great lakes states to hold onto power ...

ya know what to do w/ your f_ckin' polls ...

STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE

I ain't worried AT all about Michigan or Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania. https://www.csnbbs.com/thread-863351.html
Michigan. https://www.csnbbs.com/thread-863349.html

Wisconsin is a bit more interesting, but I'm not sure that Tammy Baldwin voters are going to vote for Trump in 2020 https://www.csnbbs.com/thread-863366.html

I swear to Huskie Jebus and the Various Gods that if this board devolves into thread after thread and post after post about POLLS then I will start swinging the Time Out Hammer.

Polls are sometimes right. Polls are sometimes wrong. Arguing about this fact and finding the polls that fit your specific partisan need are not welcome.
