Healthcare as a Right ( i.e. , Medicare for All or state-level single payer proposal);
Reproductive Rights;
Enhancing Labor Rights ($15/Hour Minimum Wage, Card Check, Ending Right to Work, etc.);
Education as a Right ( e.g, , strengthening public schools, pulling the plug on charter school proliferation, free or public colleges);
Suitable Housing as a Right;
Clean Water as a Right ( e.g. , ending municipal water shut offs, ending privatization of fresh water);
Student Debt Relief/Forgiveness;
Comprehensive Immigration Reform, e.g. , a path to citizenship for all, abolishment of ICE;
Abolishment of the Death Penalty;
Abolishment of Private Prisons and an end to mass incarceration;

There’s MY president. If I hadn’t voted for De La Cruz, I’d have gladly written her in (as I did in 2020). She’s easily the only politician in Congress that has my full throated support.
- @demesisx @OneRedFox What policies does she support?

I know I keep saying it, but that's ~10000 Democrats in Dearborn that showed up and deliberately withheld votes for Harris. That's not apathy, that's anger.
