Democratic Strategies for 2020

The Democrats are in trouble.  2020 is closing in and the party has yet to organize, develop any candidates that could win in places that they lost in 2016, and for some unexplained reason only bitches at the Republican party rather than putting together a strategy to defeat them.  Moreover, the Democrats have been relying on celebrities, citizens' protests, and unusual call-outs that, again, have done nothing to revamp their losses and crybaby mentality that has been ongoing for the past two years.  Therefore, this piece/blog focuses on Democratic strategies so that victory can be declared in state and federal legislative bodies as well as in the Whitehouse.

Developing Candidates

            

              As above-mentioned, the Democrats lack qualified candidates for the 2020 campaign/election.  The party has been involved in attacking the Republicans nonstop without recognizing the importance of organizing and preparing candidates for the aggressive activities by the opposing party.  Conjuring discrepancies is necessary, yet there needs to be structured agendas in order to defeat the ridiculousness that has been set in place by the Electoral College.  Developing candidates that are realistic and not simply concerned about childish tendencies that include useless banter and harmful campaigns or speeches about conservative politics needs to take place immediately.  The following list contains qualified candidates that are able to meet the expectations within this blog/piece and revive the United States to a state of prosperity.  There are not better or worse candidates and the order of the individuals is not a ranking system by this author. 

Joe Biden

Joe Biden possesses the profound ability to communicate professionally with the public and address public concerns realistically.  Additionally, his dedication to quality of life issues and previous experience in public service makes him a great candidate to take on the current administration and Republican party in general.  His ability to be brash at times is also a positive element for the 2020 campaign.  Given the fact that our current president is extremely volatile and abrasive in an immature manner, Joe Biden’s ability to be assertive and canny during hostile times is another attribute that would defeat the Republican’s nonsense during and after the campaign/election season.  Lastly, his tenure during the Obama administration could be rectified and reconfigured so that the American citizens live a prosperous life.

Al Gore

            Al Gore was shitted on by the Supreme Court and deserves a second attempt to lead the United States.  His environmental views and policies are top-notch and his understanding of the common people in the United States is ideal for defeating the Republican party and turning America for the better.  His public service experience is outstanding and his knowledge of how to participate is foreign affairs is also something that could benefit the country.  Moreover, since Al Gore has not been in the public spotlight for many years he has little scrutiny to deal with, thus the typical Republican slander game would not be able to work. 

Elizabeth Warren

            Elizabeth Warren is appropriate to have as a potential candidate because of her focus of public health issues, marijuana laws, and conveying accurate disdain about public policies by the current administration rather than simply participating in smack-talk like most of the other current Democrats.  Also, Elizabeth Warren is sound in her politics without much aggression, does not have serious problems with political donors, and routinely argues the facts of the politics that are detrimental to American society.  Being a woman is also a plus, as she fits the standards of the current feminist movement and has the ability to understand female problems in the United States more so than older White males.

Gavin Newsom

            Gavin Newsom is the American version of Justin Trudeau.  His west coast-Californian politics is ideal given the miserable and aggressive public service that has been ongoing since 2016.  His experience allows him to be a valid candidate and his views on marriage equality, LGBT issues in general, criminal justice policies, and healthcare are in line with what many Americans are seeking now.  Gavin Newsom is also great at giving public speeches and rallying groups to take charge in social matters that are necessary to resolve.  His politics would be considered a breath of fresh air by many Americans given the current administration’s daily hateful rants.

Joseph Kennedy, III

            Joseph Kennedy has the family background and public service experience that the Democrats are in desperate need of.  His liberal views are not extreme, he is young enough to identify with the millennials, and still provides sufficient resistance to many slanderous attacks that the Republicans are known for doing during campaigns.  His relatives could be used as a trademark to set the path for a new civil rights era – with positive solutions – and implemented in a fashion so that equality and liberty in the United States is sustained. 

Marcia Fudge

            Marcia Fudge is able to identify with indigent Americans and African Americans.  Her background serves as a plus because she does not represent a very wealthy area, and her religious views allow her to call-out the Republicans when they suggest that they are Christian and participate in prejudices that are not in accordance to the religion’s beliefs.  She also has committed herself to constant work in the energy and space aviation and discovery fields, and oversight in private and public entities.  This background is vital for defeating the Republicans when they make untrue claims against global warming and other pollution policies.  Finally, Marcia Fudge has little negative experiences while serving in the government. 

Suzan DelBene

            Suzan DelBene stands for marriage equality, environmental concerns, and healthcare policies that benefit the American public.  She has been awarded with endorsements from well-respected organizations that acknowledge sincere dedication to the above-mentioned matters.  Withal, her business experience allows her to make timely decisions that are able to positively impact millions of people.  Suzan DelBene is a Democrat that has yet to fully be in the spotlight and, because of this, her political attributes are unable to be scrutinized by opposing parties and the Republicans in general. 

Kathleen Rice

            Kathleen Rice is an important Democrat.  Given the fact that she used to be a Republican, coupled with her defeat over a Republican candidate, makes her a great choice for the 2020 primaries and Whitehouse.  Her role as a prosecutor works in her favor because she was involved in dealing with public corruption and additional white-collar crimes.  Her stances on the environment, criminal justice reform, and homeland security make her sound in protecting Americans and delivering prosperity, as well as making public officials and wealthy individuals accountable. 

Bernie Sanders

            Bernie Sander is a good candidate, but he needs to revamp his policies a bit.  Rather than suggesting things that are impossible to produce in the United States, he needs to operate on realistic changes that are possible in healthcare and education.  His ideas about criminal justice reform and wages are perfect, and his experience as a public official are also worthy of being a presidential candidate in 2020.  In sum, Bernie Sanders has the ability to lead the United States to an era where its citizens can live a prosperous life if specific campaign strategies are changed. 

Allen St. Pierre

           Allen St. Pierre is not a politician, but his skills in running large organizations that cater to public services is something that is credible for the 2020 election.  His concentration on marketing and public policies in positive fashions allows the Democrats to have a qualified candidate that is not too political or boring in their way of life.  Allen St. Pierre is also a good choice for the primaries and Whitehouse because he would be able to identify with voters from all walks of life, would have support from many non-profit organizations and victims of harsh drugs laws, as well as entire states that have legalized marijuana.  He simply needs to create a public agenda and commence it in our society.       

2020 Democratic Strategies

The Democrats need to highlight the racial and ethnic biases that the current administration has been participating in, the terrible criminal justice practices that go unchecked, the amount of indictments and convictions that have taken place in the current administration, the blatant lies about tax reform, poor foreign relations by President Trump, family appointments to public office, and his (Trump's) hypocrisy in his personal life and public official capacity.  This needs to be done in a professional manner with facts, official documents, and media clips so that the American public can glean the hypocrisy and terrible practices that have been ongoing.  Moreover, the liberal media needs to focus on public policies that are not working or being addressed rather than slander about the Republicans in their personal capacity.  The following sections highlight strategic practices that will allow for the Democrats to be successful in their campaigns. 

Drug Laws

The nation’s drug laws are ridiculous and the opioid epidemic is being used as an excuse to not reform the strict policies and sentences for non-violent drug offenders.  Democrats need to admonish the unnecessary and ill-conceived war on drugs by making the opiate problem a healthcare concern and legalizing marijuana.  Decriminalizing small amounts of other drugs would also be plausible, but the United States’ citizens are only ready to deal with the legalization of marijuana at this point.  The federal prison system needs to dismantled and prisons (state and federal) need to be shut down.  Other criminal justice policies need to be revamped as well.

Immigration

Democrats have an easy win if they make inferences about helping the Hispanic/Latino community in the United States and the migrants who travel across the borders.  Currently, the federal mandate against these individuals has made many people angry and it is necessary to refute policies that are rooted in hatred and discrimination against a minority community in the United States and in the world.  Bringing up the impacts that the zero-tolerance policy has had on children and foreign affairs will surely allow the Democrats to prosper in the upcoming election. 

Healthcare

The Republicans killed a positive healthcare system in the United States and, in turn, harmed many Americans because of their greedy desires that are rooted in excessive capitalism.  By presenting the drastic cuts in the Affordable Care Act and CHIP policies, the Republicans will look foolish, not patriotic, and disgusting in their public service.  Senior citizens and children were harmed because of the Republican cuts, and using this terrible agenda to decrease healthcare coverage will be a utility that allows Democrats to prosper. 

Guns

Guns restrictions are not being produced because of the money that is being given to the Republican party.  The Second Amendment is outdated and unnecessary.  However, the Democrats can utilize this issue by suggesting that better background checks and better safety standards will allow for a safer society without attacking responsible gun owners.  The fact is that most gun owners are responsible, and catering to this group in a way that is not too restrictive or harsh would benefit the Democrats and allow them to win in the 2020 election year.  Acknowledging the campaign contributions by the National Rifle Association is also necessary to do.   

Foreign Affairs

The Republicans have made asses of themselves in foreign affairs again, and the Democrats can easily point to the issues with Russia, North Korea, Canada, China, Mexico, and every country in Central and South America when talking about the problems with the current international agenda.  The current federal administration is embarking on a political agenda that has been making enemies and not allies.  This is extremely inappropriate in our current culture. 

Jobs

Republicans in 2016 – and now – ran on creating jobs and better wages for middle-class Americans.  Yet the economy in many areas of the country is not doing any better since the election of Donald Trump and the recent tax reforms cater to the wealthy.  This needs to be highlighted by the Democrats.  General numbers about unemployment decreases are inappropriate because the numbers that have such impacts typically come from larger urban areas.  Many Americans do not live in the aforementioned areas, and their hopes about having better employment opportunities and better salaries were never met by the current administration. 

James Comey Issue

The ordeal with the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation needs to go away.  James Comey is an unprofessional law enforcer who capitalized off of being fired and testifying during the 2016 campaign.  Democrats needs to remove their attachment from him and concentrate on improving police relations with the community rather than using a disgruntled ex-cop as a basis to win votes.  In reality, James Comey is not a great example of a good law enforcer.  He spied on people, refused to invoke innovation within his organization, acted like J. Edgar Hoover at times – without the cross-dressing – and has a lifelong affiliation with the Republican party.  Even with his recent comments about not enjoying the Republican practices, he still has made many choices that are based on resentments and conservative morals. 

Conclusion

If the Democrats are able to utilize all of the above-mentioned issues to their advantage, and do so without acting like childish idiots, then winning the 2020 election should not be a problem even with the corrupted Electoral College being used.  Given the daily problems that have manifested from this current administration, there is no doubt that there are many facts that support claims about being biased and terrible in public policies.  Major harms have been conducted by the Republicans and the party is able to be easily defeated if their major fallacies are expressed to the public in a professional and honest manner.  Finally, the Democrats should look for more potential candidates who are not lifelong politicians.
