What galls me is that when on the campaign trail, they all swear and promise things that's not in the power of just the president.I think that's why it can be tough to beat an incumbent president. The process of determining who will be the candidate requires all of them to hammer each other.
Also, in order to appeal to the democrat base they all have to appear to be somewhat left wing. Then to win the election they have to move back to the middle. People know that politicians lie, but when you said something different less than a year ago it's hard to explain.
A list:
-Abolish the electoral college. Not possible without a constitutional amendment.
-Free college tuition for all. The money has to be appropriated by Congress.
-Build a border wall and Mexico will pay for it. Yeah, right.
-Cancel student loan debt. There's that money thing again
-100% clean energy in America. How?
-End the opioid crisis. Good luck with that one. War on drugs is being won by drugs.
-Medicare for all. Would literally take an act of Congress, not impossible but a long road.
-Raise wages and create more American jobs. An oxymoron as stated, but a minimum wage set too high will stifle business growth.
-Fixing Our Bankruptcy System to Give People a Second Chance.-That didn't work out so well in the Community reinvestment act.
-Workplace democracy. Huh?
-Expand Social Security. There's that money thing again
-Eliminating all medical debt. $$$$$$$$$$$$$
-Allow every post office to offer basic and affordable banking services and end lending discrimination. That'll go over like a fart in church.
-High speed internet for all. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
-Enact a federal jobs guarantee, to ensure that everyone is guaranteed a stable job that pays a living wage. $$$$$$$$$$$
That's just a cherry pick of the Sanders and Warren web sites. Commentary is mine.
