Attacking Trump is not enough

Sam Smith - One of the problems with our current politics is that the Democrats are doing a good job exposing and correcting Trump but are not offering a clear alternative in programs. Even this website has not come through with a clear picture of what a post-Trump era would be like due to the lack of clearly presented new goals. Most of the alternatives offered are the names of politicians and not new policies. 

To give you an idea of how this differs from the past, here are some measures taken since 1960 by progresisves: 

• Civil Rights Act (1964) & Voting Rights Act (1965)
• Fair Housing Act (1968)
• Women's Rights & Equality: Supported the Equal Pay Act (1963) 
• Medicare and Medicaid (1965) 
  
• Affordable Care Act (2010)
• Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
• Family and Medical Leave Act (1993)
• Environmental Protection: Established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and passed the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.
• Education: Increased federal student loans and funding for education.
• Consumer Protection: Created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). 

It's time to push for poisitve and human alternatives to Trumpism. You may not have the votes yet but you'll will gain the appreciation of America's most confused generation.
