In reality the Dems will do none of those things though. They won’t nationalize anything because they are neoliberals. They won’t fully defund ICE because they want racists to vote for them too. They’ll just reduce the budget and maybe stop putting kids in cages. They won’t shut down funding for the exec branch because they’ll say it is “irresponsible”.
More things they’ll never do:
Demilitarise and defund the police
Provide free public healthcare and education for all
Raise taxes on billionaires
Stop mass surveillance programs
Reform the electoral system to allow proportional representation
Properly regulate and tax corporations
Stop providing weapons to their genocidal allies
I’d love to be proved wrong, but I’m not gonna get my hopes up.
Shutting down funding for the executive program means cutting pretty much every program the government has, if you’re not going to reformat it. Which is not implied.
They should still do it and bring the country to a standstill if necessary. If extreme measures aren’t applicable now, when will they be? It’ll cause some short term pain, but it’ll get everyone out in the streets.
Founding Fathers, 1776: Democracy is worth fighting and dying for! We must water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. We must risk our fortunes and our lives so that our children can live in freedom.
Democrats, 2025: Trump is a dictator destroying democracy, but we can’t risk temporarily shutting down government transfer payments in order to stop him.

The person who posted the tweet in this post who suggested cutting funding was a Republican and now is a independent
