Note: Yesterday, you finally announced that the filibuster must go to get the voting rights act passed. It took you a while to get over your old self as a centrist Senator. We may soon know if this action of yours succeeds. Even if it does, though, the Republicans will continue to abuse us with the filibuster, and little in the Senate will get passed.
That is why, President Biden, you must immediately start signing a series of executive orders. You can legally do this.You have numerous emergency powers for moments like this. You can:
1.Immediately offer federal unemployment checks to all who don't have work or are underemployed.
2. Send a rebate check each month this year to every family in America that earns less than $110,000.
3. Send a child security check to the parents of every kid in America. We are in a NATIONAL EMERGENCY and the law allows for it.
4. Announce that ALL seniors can immediately get hearing aids, glasses and dental care through Medicare. Who is going to challenge you? Who is going to stand up and say our parents and grandparents don't have a right to see, hear or chew? NO ONE! Do it!
5. Announce that we are in a medical emergency when it comes to the mental health of our children. Declare the government will provide free PRE-K and 3-K.
This is also so that parents can work. It's a pandemic.
You have the authority to do a whole host of things when the country is in collapse. Don't wait for Congress immediately reduce the price of prescriptions. That alone will bring victory in November. To make double-sure that will happen, throw this in:
Because it has been declared a Homeland Security IMPERATIVE, every child in America will now be given A FREE HOT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH everyday at school and throughout the summer.
And because the Homeland cannot be secure if it's own citizens have been reduced to being wage-slaves that keep them in poverty, declare that no American or resident will be forced to work for less than $15 an hour.
That's how you win in November. But you/we must also do two more things:
2. We must, right now, recruit beloved, winnable candidates to run for the Senate, House, and local elections all over the country.
There are five Republican senators who have announced they are retiring this year. So we need to run the best candidates for these open seats who can defeat the new unlikable Republicans on the ballot. Many are already running.
These next couple months are our last best chance to run the best Democrats in our districts and states. The local state party hacks are already looking for boring, centrist, moderate candidates. Those candidates will lose. Political scientists who've studied why Democrats lose so much have learned it's because these moderate Dems believe the only way to beat the Republicans is to be more like them. This does not work. Running left of center and being a true progressive Dem is the best path to victory, as shown by the massive turnout by young voters and voters of color in 2018Â ² and 2020Â ³.
The winning candidate will be the one who is authentic, decent, and a fighter for the working person. She's a teacher, or a veteran. He's an astronaut, or a General who opposed invading Iraq. She lost a child in the Parkland high school massacre. He is a business owner who pays everyone a living wage, whose employees all get paid family leave. She's a former local TV anchor who people wish was still on TV. He's a coach with a conscience in San Antonio. She was one half of the Miami Music Machine. He was the other half. She's the Stacey Abrams of your state. He's Michael Jordan of North Carolina. She's America Ferrera. He's Rob Reiner. She's Meryl Streep (She's gonna kill me for writing that). So let's say she's the fighting Congresswoman, Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio.
