16. Our big push needs to be to rid ourselves of the DT-rot

He has damaged our agencies and institutions across the board, slashed taxes for the top percentile and underfunded everything outside of the military, and blown up our debt. It will not be an overnight fix. We need a strong coalition to approach it and begin to undo the damage. "Issues", aside from trying to reinstate the ones Obama put in place for the environment, protection of public lands, health care, etc., won't get a "big push" for a long time. We will have to fight the good fight on every piece of wrongdoing we try to right and it will take time.
Add to that all efforts to regain trust abroad. Yikes.
The rest of it will have to wait. Just remember how hard the right worked to kneecap Obama and you might get the idea of what lies ahead.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
