“We’ve added over 80,000 megawatts of new clean power capacity, the equivalent of building 40 Hoover Dams, to help shrink energy costs and meet ambitious climate goals.”
Democratic Party platform
I don’t think its going to work for the simple reason that Democrats control the White House from January 20, 2021 to January 19, 2025. Why aren’t you doing these proposals right now? If you’re saying the food prices are too high and too many Americans need to take two or three jobs to make ends meet, why aren’t Democrats doing something about it? Too many Americans suffer and no tele prompted speech is going to solve their problems right now.
It’s like not being able to read a bill in the House until after it’s passed.
Democrats vote Blue no Matter Who
Republicans look for a reason to hate their candidates.
“At the same time, the Administration is helping family farmers service distressed loans in order to keep their lands and ultimately pass them down to their kids. It has worked with many farmers to boost the production of expensive fertilizer, increasing supply and easing costs for everyone else. The U.S.D.A. also expanded farm insurance to allow for more double cropping, a practice that increases farm earnings, expands the food supply, and helps lower average food prices for American families. Going forward, Democrats will also work to get farmers the right to repair their own equipment, without having to pay big equipment makers for diagnostic tools and repairs. And we will look to further limit foreign ownership of U.S. farmland to protect our food supply and national security.
“Throughout, Democrats have stood by farm workers. We are working to improve workers’ safety at meat processing facilities, and we will continue to enforce and advance labor and environmental rules, for example promoting organizing rights and requiring overtime pay, and boosting protections against harmful pesticides and extreme heat.”
Democratic Party platform
Democrats make government their God.
Republicans see government as a necessary evil.
"They’re Saying It Out Loud: Dems Want Harris to Hide Her Policies Until After the Election"
As a side note to this thread please consider this.
Desperate elite Dems wanting to hide Harris's policies until after election is disturbingly déjà vu of Pelosi irresponsibly ramming unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare through the House imo.
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Also, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt (7.28.24)
“President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats took on Big Pharma and won. Democrats capped the price of insulin at $35 a month, down from as much as $400, for nearly 4 million seniors on Medicare. And President Biden persuaded the nation’s top three insulin makers to lower their prices for everyone. Now, we’ll fight to expand that $35 cap to cover everyone, saving millions of Americans with diabetes nearly $1,000 a year. Starting next year, the Inflation Reduction Act also caps total out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 a year for millions of seniors and others on Medicare. Democrats will fight until that cap covers every single American.
“For the first time, Medicare now also has the ability to negotiate lower drug prices, as private insurers and the VA have done for decades. It started doing so this year, beginning with 10 commonly used medications for conditions such as diabetes and heart failure. Democrats will push to add at least 50 drugs a year to that list, lowering prices for 500 drugs this decade. Medicare Part-D is also working to cap cost-sharing for life-saving generics at $2 a dose; Democrats will make this mandatory for all Medicare beneficiaries.
“The Administration is also leading the charge against Big Pharma price gouging, by requiring drugmakers that raise prices faster than inflation to pay the difference back to Medicare, which will then pass savings on to consumers. This will protect over 750,000 seniors, who could save as much as $4,500 per over-priced dose. Democrats will keep fighting to expand these rebates, applying them when drugmakers overcharge not just Medicare, but private insurers as well. We’re also cracking down on improper drug patent listings, which some drugmakers use to shut out competition. Once companies drop their improper patent listings, other companies will be free to make cheaper alternatives. The FTC’s work in this area has already pushed three of the biggest makers of inhalers to lower prices to $35 a month, saving people with asthma hundreds of dollars a year. The Administration also enacted rules to finally make hearing aids available over-the-counter, saving millions of Americans up to $3,000 a pair. And Democrats will continue the Administration’s work to require that any drugs developed with taxpayer dollars be available to taxpayers, including at reasonable prices. Democrats will keep working to lower drug prices by requiring more transparency from the “pharmacy benefit manager” middlemen who generally decide which drugs are covered by insurance and bought by doctors, and how much they cost.”

“America is the world’s only advanced economy not to guarantee paid leave. The vast majority of employers don’t offer it – nearly three-quarters of private-sector employees don’t have paid family leave through their jobs, including 94 percent of America’s lowest-paid workers. The pandemic only made the economic consequences of this failure more devastating. In the United States of America, no one should have to choose between caring for a parent who raised them, a child who depends on them, and the paycheck that they need to survive.
“Trump and Republicans failed to guarantee any new paid leave to private sector workers. Instead, their various proposals included unfunded mandates on states, tax credits that failed to expand access but subsidized large businesses, and schemes to force new parents seeking paid leave to borrow against their own future Social Security funds.”

Made from the Natural Gas that they banned........................
And, the HilaryHag made this approach work repeatedly — yah have to pass it to read it.
I think one simple ad should play everywhere:
Do you like what’s happened in America the last 3.5 years? Then vote to keep Kamala. If not, vote for change.
We know what her policies are...no fracking...higher taxes...mandatory payments just about everything...condom kits sent to every boy in the nation...
(what should be the continuation of this platform)..... and then we take half of your earned pay and give it to illegals.
And she has the mainstream media in her hip pocket.
Trump and Vance will get to say “kamala policies are so horrendous for the country that they are .iterally hiding her policies from the public so that she won’t lose anyone who has even a modicum of common sense. To elect kamala and Walz is to vote for the worst possible policies one can imagine, which again is why the .eft are desperate to hide her ideology from you. The Democrat party is the party of deceit and secrecy despite what they want to tell you.
Anyone can see my policies as I was completely Tra sparing about them as they contributed to one of the best economies around for the 4 years that I was president. I didn’t have to please with the media to try and hide my record and ideology because I was proud of my legacy”
Or somehting along those lines
And again....”And then we give half of your earnings to illegals.”
Perhaps Trump should say something like:
The Democratic ‘free lunches’ tend to be very expensive.
Every vote buying handout comes with a cost. The well-to-do have the economic, legal or technical abilities to pass costs on. You see the results in higher prices, higher bills, higher insurance premiums and wages and salaries that can’t keep up.
The Democrats say they will fight harder, and the harder they fight, the higher the prices of nearly everything will go.
This gallon of milk would have sold for $1.99 at Aldi’s when I was President. My staffer paid $3.14. This....
Trump hopefully will be able make a rebuttal to every item in the platform.
“And then we give half of your earnings to illegals.”
Most of them have already been legalized.
Probably about 15% of federal money goes to people who migrated irregularly and their offspring.
The percentage of a Long Island town’s property tax might be 50% or more.
