Some Gems For The Dems
The Democratic Party must strategize first on past histories…………………..
George Washington’s warned against the danger of political parties in his famous farewell address. This alert dominated the early government of the United States.
The Democratic Party is known for their association with a strong federal government and support for minority, women’s and labor rights, environmental protection and progressive reforms.
A strong federal government instituted the New Deal which was a series of programs and projects instituted during the Great Depression by President Franklin D. Roosevelt that aimed to restore prosperity to Americans. When Roosevelt took office in 1933, he acted swiftly to stabilize the economy and provide jobs and relief to those who were suffering. Over the next eight years, the government instituted a series of experimental New Deal projects and programs, such as the CCC, the WPA, the TVA, the SEC and others. Roosevelt’s New Deal fundamentally and permanently changed the U.S. federal government by expanding its size and scope especially its role in the economy.
In today’s world, the federal government and its associated bureaucracy has flabbergasted the people with its wasteful and irrational spending and is defending the irregularities through lower court edicts and political narratives.
The support for minorities largely started in the 1850s with the debate over whether slavery should be extended into new Western territories split these political coalitions. Southern Democrats favored slavery in all territories, while their Northern counterparts thought each territory should decide for itself via popular referendum. The Union victory in the Civil War left Republicans in control of Congress, where they would dominate for the rest of the 19th century. During the Reconstruction era, the Democratic Party solidified its hold on the South, as most white Southerners opposed the Republican measures protecting civil and voting rights for African Americans.
Although Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed civil rights legislation (and sent federal troops to integrate a Little Rock high school in 1954), it was Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat from Texas that eventually sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law.
Currently, the expansion and continuation of minority measures of the past for economic woes have flourished with the Civil Right Act of 1987, 1991, 2009. In 1990, George Bush vetoed a civil Rights Bill that would have shifted the burden to employers to justify employment practices. In 2025, the Trump administration took a backlash approach to the Biden Harris administration for the initiation of DEI. The Republican administration specified there is a feeling of loss of control; also, a misunderstanding of the virtue of “colorblindness
The Women’s Rights Movement marks July 13, 1848 as its beginning. Margaret Mead’s insight has been borne out time and again throughout the development of this country of ours. Nineteen ninety eight marked the 150th Anniversary of a movement by women to achieve full civil rights in this country. Over the past seven generations, dramatic social and legal changes have been accomplished that are now so accepted that they go unnoticed by people whose lives they have utterly changed. Elizabeth Cady Stanton vision was that the new republic would benefit from having its women play more.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton used the Declaration of Independence as the framework for what she titled a “Declaration of Sentiments.” In what proved to be a brilliant move, Stanton connected the nascent campaign for women’s rights directly to that powerful American symbol of liberty.
Project 2025 focuses on protecting women and girls in endless ways, including under Title VII, a law designed to create sex-based protections at work. It has been twisted by the Biden administration to force women to shower with men and for males to compete against women in sports. It must be said that the “Declaration of Sentiments” does not address athletic competition nor “Gender Manipulation” to participate against your new declared or undeclared sex after surgery.
The original drafters of the U.S. Constitution were all white, landholding (and many slave-holding) men. Women were never part of “the people” they envisioned in the Constitution.
Women are disproportionately affected by the absence of a solid legal foundation to challenge and combat harmful cultural practices such as child marriage, which remains legal in 37 states. Over 300,000 minors, some as young as ten years old, were married in the US from 2010 to 2018. Girls account for 86% of these minors, with most wed to adult men. The US knows what it needs to do. There are no excuses and elected leaders should act now to enact the ERA and strengthen other protections against human rights violations.
American workers today have a host of rights and resources should their workplaces be hostile or harmful because of a rich labor-movement history that put an end to child labor, 16-hour workdays, and unsafe working conditions. Organized labor, namely unions, is also responsible for securing a 40-hour workweek, minimum wage (such as it is), anti-discrimination laws, and other basic protections that were once far-off pipe dreams for millions of American men, women, and children laboring in subpar and dangerous conditions for poverty wages.
The rise of so-called journeymen societies in 1794 led to the creation of the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers of Philadelphia, which worked to protect the wages of shoemakers, who toiled in a large and profitable industry. This society was the first true union and can be considered the genesis of the American labor movement.
Today, despite fierce corporate opposition, the PRO Act has strong backing from the labor movement. Leaders across industries argue that the bill is a long-overdue response to decades of corporate attacks on unions. If passed, the PRO Act could transform labor rights for generations, reversing decades of corporate-driven attacks on unions.
It must be remembered about 8 million out of 12 million illegal aliens have jobs. Of the percentage of the U.S. workforce, figures have remained more or less steady for the past decade.
President Richard Nixon proposed the establishment of EPA on July 9, 1970; it began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order. The agency works with industries and all levels of government in a wide variety of voluntary pollution prevention programs and energy conservation efforts.
The agency is tasked with safeguarding the environment and human health by enforcing federal clean air, water and land regulations, along with other environmental rules.
Presently, lax financial controls have resulted in questionable transactions like the one recently uncovered and reported by the new administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin. Although Congress approved the $20 billion (yes, with a “b”) program, the $20 billion was quietly moved to an “outside financial institution” in order to avoid scrutiny or control.
Project 2025, the latest in this series of blueprints for dramatic change, draws most deeply on governmental powers associated with the executive branch control. As in the congressional purges of 1940s, it takes aim not just at policy but at the civil servants of Trump’s “deep state” and those who administer it.
In the wake of World War II, the charge was that feckless bureaucrats served Soviet masters. Today, Project 2025 aims to bring the Administrative State to heel, and in the process defang and defund woke culture warriors who have infiltrated every last institution in America.
Where are our taxpayer dollars being spent? Are we getting what we’re paying for? Is there a better, faster, cheaper way to provide the services that our government should provide?
Then the Democratic Party must strategize on future histories…………………..
Taxation and spending levels need to balance for an economy not to experience inflation and possible financial calamity. The DOGE initiative needs to expand but maybe with more traditional audit procedures.
DEI should continue to be abolished for the original content of character for an individual should be the guiding light. Past continuations of minority measures should be ceased for America has been beat to death in the last 50 years for gas lighting an already bygone era which many believe that social and economic equalities have already been addressed and completed.
Federal District Judges must have some kind of time limit whereas their injunctions must quickly be remedied so the executive branch of governing be upheld without interference from the judicial bench for national issues.
The redirection of direct labor and the unionism of workers for an overall economic surge in financial stability is needed. The republican establishment will pay one dollar per hour if they could get away with it.
The past immigration fiasco from 2020 thru 2024 does not help and entry only deteriorates wages. Most Democrats and Republicans are in favor of raising the minimum wage to at least $9 an hour. Deportation for criminals should be strictly enforced.
Tax and spend methodology must be absorbed by all including the one percent who need to be scrutinized for the tax relief they receive. Monies associated with purchases in the stock market must carry some kind of value added monies for tax revenue.
The three-trillion, eight-hundred billion dollar addition to be realized as per the possible tariff cost over time can be balanced with a sight down tick on tax cuts then shifted to contingency offsetting a probable hit to the deficit.
To police the energy and industrial sector which propels the total economy, industries must be throttled and or decelerated according to environmental enthusiasm affecting global markets.
The accounting of just how many low wage immigrants are needed to support American cities and towns for services and agriculture assistance needs to be audited. The United States president Thomas Jefferson was an agrarian who based his ideas about the budding American democracy around the notion that farmers are "the most valuable citizens".
Agrarianism is a social and political philosophy that advocates for rural development, rural agricultural lifestyle, family farming, widespread property ownership, and political decentralization. There are many classes of Agrarianism but the Scandinavian ideals seem the most prudent.
Scandinavian Agrarian ideals need to be studied. Their offers are non-Socialist and typically combine a commitment to small businesses, rural issues and political decentralization, and, at times have skepticism towards national government. The parties have conflicting views on the free market and environmentalism. These kinds of voices mimic the southern U.S. states.
Many tech giants say approximately 120 million homes need access to technology.
One area is to find common ground in support for greater regulation of technology and social media companies. Most technology fees associated with public usage are not affordable. In addition, infrastructure connections are antiquated.
Conducting antitrust probes into major companies is a top problem in government today. Government antitrust legal expertise is needed and is very expensive for governmental budgeting
