There’s MY president. If I hadn’t voted for De La Cruz, I’d have gladly written her in (as I did in 2020). She’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 “Green New Deal,” 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);
• End the War on Drugs ( e.g. , amnesty for prisoners held on possession charges);
• Justice and national freedom for Palestinians.
