  • Thereā€™s MY president. If I hadnā€™t voted for De La Cruz, Iā€™d have gladly written her in (as I did in 2020). Sheā€™s easily the only politician in Congress that has my full throated support.

    • @demesisx @OneRedFox What policies does she support?

      • She's a DSA member and is endorsed by Detroit's DSA chapter, which only endorses candidates that support:

        • A ā€œGreen New Deal,ā€ e.g., rapid decarbonization of the economy, a federal jobs guarantee, a just transition;
        • Increased Income and Wealth Taxes on the Ultra Wealthy;
        • Healthcare as a Right ( i.e. , Medicare for All or state-level single payer proposal);
        • Reproductive Rights;
        • Enhancing Labor Rights ($15/Hour Minimum Wage, Card Check, Ending Right to Work, etc.);
        • Education as a Right ( e.g, , strengthening public schools, pulling the plug on charter school proliferation, free or public colleges);
        • Suitable Housing as a Right;
        • Clean Water as a Right ( e.g. , ending municipal water shut offs, ending privatization of fresh water);
        • Student Debt Relief/Forgiveness;
        • Comprehensive Immigration Reform, e.g. , a path to citizenship for all, abolishment of ICE;
        • Abolishment of the Death Penalty;
        • Abolishment of Private Prisons and an end to mass incarceration;
        • Rejection of Corporate Donations/Super PAC Money;
        • Ending Wars, U.S. Military Intervention, and Nation-Building;
        • Paid Vacation Time, Sick Time, Family Leave, and Childcare;
        • No Selling Arms to Human-Rights Violators;
        • Extensive Police Reforms ( e.g. , special prosecutors to hold police accountable);
