Party policy positions

lundi 18 mai 2020 à 02:00

Biden and Sanders have agreed to six task forces to decide on Democratic Party policy positions, and outspoken progressives are co-chairs of three of them.

The article doesn't lay out the structure and domains of all these panels. It could be a real opportunity to shift the party left, but that is not assured.

The most elementary sense of justice says that you must not hold your own mistakes against someone that is at your mercy. The people who work in that office have been taught to disregard the most elementary sense of justice; the culture of that office is "say no at any excuse".

I suggest moving those bureaucrats to the department that provides environmental approvals for construction and agriculture, and rebooting the immigration office with entirely new staff.
