Question for Democrats

I'll let Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman answer that,



Here's a hint: The goal is Domestic Improvements.

i can tell you what it would be like... men would be effeminate, children would be given puberty blockers at age 5, anyone would be allowed into the country, there would be no restrictions on abortion (even post birth), everyone would pay 60-80% of their income in taxes, you wouldn't be able to protect yourself with a gun, you would never hear of the founding fathers, the combustion engine would be outlawed and everyone except the ultra rich elitists (government bureaucrats) would live in the literal dark and work to support the oppressive machine.

If one person controlled all branches of government, it would be a dictatorship. If I controlled all government branches, I’d make The Constitution the law of the land, as it’s supposed to be. Before ceding control I’d add some amendments, one being all children must be taught American history (not the revised version), and must be taught about the Constitution. I’d also make sure critical thinking skills are taught, so children can think with logic and reason.

Oops! I’m a conservative.

For a glimpse, let's consult the historical record: "From 1952 through June 2020, annualized real stock market returns under Democrats have been 10.6% compared with 4.8% for Republicans." https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/07/23/historical-stock-market-returns-under-every-us-president/#51469926faaf

That's right. Democrats are better for the economy.
MUCH better. Deal with it.

Remember the 1960s? Good roads, good schools, big projects...

More like that.

One where, ideally, the playing field is well and truly levelled. One in which the least are treated the same as the wealthiest because a society is made up of its people, and we lose great minds and potential daily to things that could be prevented or halted if for a modicum of empathy. One where the world knows and understands our intentions and our will to back them up, but with an even, thoughtful hand with the future in mind. Not just our future, but the future of the ten generations to come. One in which decent behavior is encouraged and rewarded and abhorrent behavior is either remedied where possible or eradicated effectively. One in which we understand and act as though we're but one tenant on this planet, not a global ruler. One which supports and promotes the productivity of American industry through education, re-education and progressive research and development. America would be one which fosters the regard and respect of others and from ourselves.

Here's a long sentence.

The wealthiest would pay their fair share with tax loopholes they access eliminated and the corresponding revenue would be directed to where it's needed the most, rights such as abortion and gay marriage would be codified, advancing technologies and onshore manufacturing would be pursued, the unfair and undemocratic electoral college would be eliminated, the Supreme Court would be expanded to eliminate/diminish the politicization of it, Citizen's United would (hopefully) be eliminated, some form of "free" healthcare and secondary education would be implemented, gun laws would be strengthened, climate change would be better addressed and things like unions, minimum wage increases, consumer protections and regulations against industries that harm citizens would be promoted.

With that, crime would be reduced, life spans would be increased, even more jobs would be created and "regular" people would have a chance for better lives.

That's just a few off the top of my head.

Another way of looking at is that Democrats are 'for' things. The things that makes people's lives safer and better. Republicans are 'against' things. I'm hard pressed to think of anything they're 'for' that doesn't harm others in the process.

So I see it as the difference between strength and weakness, courage and fear and moving forward instead of backwards. You know...the REAL American ideals.

this man would have made a great president

Okay for a little while before conservative elements try to keep the government from progressing further and will look to the good old days. The mythical golden age. So the left will slowly move to the right and pick up the rejects of the country driving it even further to the right into conspiracy land. Then new progressive parties will arise to fight the retrogressive elements and push humanity toward more progress again.
Sadly most of human history has been ruled by autocratic governments which has slowed progress since the first cities formed and the first governments formed to manage them. Conservatism has literally put humanity behind by around 8,000 years. If all governments had followed logic and science instead of conservatism and religion we would have had antibiotics in 1000 BCE.
This has always happened throughout history. And it will continue to happen. America is just another empire that will eventually change or fall.

Just as a beginning I'd want to do away with the Electoral College, do away with voter districting in the states, put term limits of two, 4 year terms for members of both houses, put 10 year limits on judges in the SCOTUS, do away with the filibuster.

After that, get busy amending our Constitution so that it provides equality for all.

Realistically, the party would split, as it's already a clusterf*ck of (sometimes incompatibile) ideologies. From the schism you'll get back to a 2-party situation, the biggest two subsets. Ex-republicans that haven't retired from politics would join the more conservative of these two.

You'll get two shiny two parties but unless the voting system is reformed, it'll be essentially a façade change. "Progressives" vs "Conservatives" (or whatever names they'll pick), green vs pink, instead of "Democrats" vs "Republicans", blue vs red.

They have to wait to see what the television tells them.

One where we have an actual healthcare plan that does not drive families into bankruptcy, affordable education to level the playing field, and a nation that is a fair player on the worldwide scene.

With the current bunch of democratic politicians? Probably nothing would change. Ideally, though, things would change in such a way that everybody would finally have equal opportunities. Gerrymandering would be a thing of the past, as would shutting down polling places in poor neighborhoods to keep the very poorest people from voting. Sensible gun laws would be passed in all 50 states, so that people couldn't sneak them from one state to another.

I could go on all day, but I don't want people tuning me out out of boredom.

George Orwell already wrote a book about such a hypothetical scenario...

It will still be a piece of shit. But a better piece of shit.

Better, much better. We'll still have problems and a long way to go, but at least we'll have hope of progress.

I can't speak for all Democrats, but my guess is no one else can either.

My guess is, so called moderate Democrats would fill in to counterbalance the more aggressive leftist revolutionary types.

I get the both sides crap, but Democrats don't do authoritarianism well. Obama was probably as close as they've come since FDR, and that didn't go well.

I imagine half of the country would be as dissatisfied as if the republicans had full control, and implemented only their will.

You're looking at it, now, right?
They're generations in, they built this.

We already had that. It was called the Confederate States of America

Alot more simple and common sense. Everyone would have a flat tax except for the most impoverished.
Roughly 22%
Businesses would not get any breaks or tax cuts unless they were explicitly serving the country's needs.
Presidency would last 6 years instead of 4.
Personal freedom would reign Supreme unless of course common sense laws are broken.
Police and prison system would get cleaned up .

Which ones are you asking ? (Hint: they’re not synonymous)
Or, perhaps you next plan to ask:

Question for Fascists and Republicans

East Berlin, just saying its comparable "if"

woke garbage, but with no pushback

Simply put: Sad state of affairs…

Well just do as they say then

Control all aspects at just the federal level, or in every state as well?

Then, which Democrats? Republican-Lite centrists? Progressives?

Moreoever, regardless of who is in power, how do you get into the minds of individual voters susceptible to taking the post-Nixon fear-based bait that has manufactured crises and ongoing culture war divisions for half a century now, so that anything good done under the Democrat control of government does not simply get undone later for completely baseless and irrational reasons?
