The corporate-friendly party refuses to learn the lessons of the past decade. When will it implement a truly humane agenda?

I don’t see the party being even able to achieve all the progressive goals federally any time soon, but I do think they could be implemented on a state by state level.

New Mexico for instance just rolled out a free/subsidized childcare program. So these progressive programs are possible to be rolled out to Blue states, and then we can try to tell these working programs to people living in purple and red states.

States should focus on trying to roll out universal healthcare and Universal Basic Income in their states, imo. Higher minimum wages as well. Make Blue states so good that people without those programs will be wanting to replace their leadership for one that will implement those programs.
