you have been stating the last 8 years and unfortunately Bernie Sanders was the only dem that have promoted some of the ideas you have on your list.

I think ultimately the democrats have a crisis moment. This is a turning point for them. This country desperately desperately needs another New Deal type of policy. We are now in a second gilded age like we were 100 years ago. No minor milquetoast policies are going to be able to fix the major problems we have now in this country economically for the majority of people.

The problem with the democrats is they are also controlled by elite donors. To fix these problems would involve taxing their elite donors which they don't want no part of that's why I feel a lot of them secretly are not too down about Trump winning since they know he won't touch their bank accounts. I'm not optimistic the democrats will make the right decision and not listen to these donors when it comes to fixing the problems that need to be fixed.

If the democrats get back in power in '28 and decide to just continue to listen to their donors, then we are done as a country and will morph into fascist state quickly if we haven't already with Trump. There is just going to be no turning back.
