Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Pay teachers more

Build more schools to reduce class sizes

Make sure all kids have access to school food 3 meals a day

Single payer healthcare

Increased mental healthcare facilities and workers so kids don't turn to suicide

Improve safety nets

End the war on drugs

End for profit prison system

End qualified immunity

Hey look gun violence has dropped like a hot rock...

But no please keep doing the same shit and spend political capital on shit a very large portion of the usa doesn't want.

While I agree with you, any politician with an R beside their name is going to actively obstruct everything you just listed.

So then it becomes what takes more political capital, one thing they'll fight tooth and nail or ten?

If the dems had a spine they'd use their antigun capital on getting single payer passed. It would probably cut gun deaths in half alone.

At the rate hospitals are going belly up after getting drained of cash, there won't be a health system left by the time any of this happens.
