      That's going to require some Juche necromancy:

    Revamping the CIA I believe.

    Individual mandate and being in the Paris accord. He might repeal the trans military ban.

    But if you want public transportation, a climate change response up to what the scientists recommend, the healthcare system of the standard of any industrialized country, demilitarized police, sensible criminal justice system, a cessation to the war on drugs, capacity to deal with addiction without violent use of state power, an end to the opioid crisis, resources to mount an effective quarantine from the second COVID surge, a decrease in foreign intervention, an extant social safety net, acknowledgement of homelessness, acknowledgement of wealth inequality, increases in purchasing power for the median wage, cessation of bribery in government, transparent donations in elections, publicly funded elections, less bailouts for massive corporations, a lever of power against massive corporations, union power, increased access to education, a supreme court with a relevant liberal POV, or a foil to the worst impulses of the GOP then you're SOL.

    If you want increased power of labor in the government, transitions to worker ownership of corporate structure, democratic decision making over surplus labor, an end to homelessness and food insecurity, rehabilitation of US led war zones, or positive relationships with China then the dems will make an enemy of you.

      Individual mandate

      The one that forces you to buy health insurance? God I hope not, that shit fucked me over so bad. The insurance I qualified for on the exchanges was dogshit with a $5000 deductible that I couldn't afford even after getting a subsidy, and I couldn't afford to pay the penalty either so I just skipped filing my taxes the years that it was in effect. I could've really used the tax refund I usually get but the penalty would've taken all of it and then charged me a few hundred dollars on top of that.

        You and the majority of America wish for government run healthcare and can't afford the deductible for insurance (let alone the max out of pocket). BJG harps on this shit all day and night on Twitter.

      What's this exactly? I'm guessing it can't be good.

    he probably won't push new queerphobic stuff via EOs? all the existing stuff will continue but there won't be anything new from the white house itself?

    that's all I got. you'd expect immigration to be the same but I suspect a deal to continue most of the existing policy and reverse the one (1) good thing trump did here (pay increase for H1Bs) as it's bad for the SV technocrats.

    oh, and federal contractors will probably be allowed to give trainings on white fragility again. #racism is solved y'all

      I honestly think that Trump stopping that was a good idea. The last person you should learn antiracism from is your boss.
