It'd be cool if voting involved a hard choice in 2028

Here's a plan and campaign that I think the Democractic Party should consider. NOSTR, Bitcoin, Crowdhealth, Entrepreneurship, Safety, and transparency about government influence are at the center of bringing back the middle class which is the key campaign promise.

I'm not sure the party has a chance whatsoever if this is not what they embrace immediately.

Democratic Party 2028
“May the best man, woman, idea and plan win.”

Let’s be honest with ourselves. We can complain or we can compete.
If we are honest with ourselves we know we cannot blame the refs, the other team or bad luck in the game.

We need to get to work.

If we are honest with ourselves, we lost because we lost touch with actual democracy and what the Nation wanted.

We need to understand and accept this.

If we are being honest with ourselves we made people feel like they were inferior instead of being heard when they had questions.

We need to walk a mile in the shoes of that feeling. No one likes that feeling. We need to love the good hearted debate again. This is at the center of our solution to winning.

We welcome and not run from a good hearted debate.

We don’t have to agree on everything but we do have to make sure we are hearing, listening and understanding.

We need to welcome uncomfortable questions, situations and conversations because that is how we identify the root causes. When we identify root causes of problems it is easy to agree on them. When we agree on the root causes, we can begin to prioritize them for impact then solve them collectively and efficiently.

We have an opportunity to represent a new chapter of the Democratic Party by outthinking, outcompeting, outworking opponents. We have an opportunity to invite competition to our opponents and proudly state,

“May the best man, woman, idea and plan win.”

We have an opportunity to bring back the ideals of truth, transparency, merit and American ideals today.

It requires being honest with ourselves and introspective about ourselves. We no longer blame external factors, other people or circumstances. We outcompete, outthink and show our work.

It requires actual work and it will not be easy but it will be worthwhile. Actual work starts today with understanding the root causes of why we lost and that starts with admitting that we did lose.

The focus of the campaign that will bring us back to prominence is the middle class. We cannot just say this though we have to show the middle class our plan and how we execute on it.

To bring back the middle class we will focus on excelling in three areas:
transparency, technology and health.

We are competing for our middle class because we are nothing without them. We are focused on transparency, technology and health because we’ve identified the areas where we can make the biggest impact, outcompete and win for them.

Transparency in money and influence
“Show me the outcome and I’ll show you the incentives.”

Our money and our politicians are not meeting the standards of transparency that this country deserves. And they haven't for a long time Unless we are committed to the utmost form of transparency at all times, we cannot properly deliver on our promises. And we are definitely under the influence of non-American agendas.

This is the number one priority that cannot be compromised. Without truth and transparency reaching a never before seen standard, we cannot expect to compete for many elections to come.


Tech
“Inflation is a tax on your savings”

Open source Money in Bitcoin means a savings technology that actually works at preserving your purchasing power.

Open source communication in NOSTR means we cannot hide from transparency.

Embracing Artificial Intelligence means we are progressing towards a responsible future with the inevitable and finding opportunities here for employment for the middle class.


Health
“Safety is at the top of all hierarchies”

The feeling of safety comes from trust and trust comes from consistency. Higher teachers, cops, and nurses salaries are at the center of our communities to create a thriving middle class with these roles being our superstars.

Parks and recreation need to be defended and inviting again to enjoy enjoy life away from screens again.

Health Care providers like Crowdheatlh need to become the new standard and get rid of no-bid contracts in health, education and other government subsidized industries. We have to compete here with our best plans and entrepreneurs or we will not win.

Gyms, gym owners and small businesses focused on physical health are another subset of the new super stars. They need to be offered the best resources and support through tax breaks, rebates and integrated compensation from companies like crowdhealth when they are effective.

Food and the FDA need to be audited regularly for a new standard. We simply lost badly here for good reason and we ostracized one of our biggest proponents for this cause in Robert Kennedy JR.

These are the areas we are meant to compete for and do well at. And we will win if we begin to adopt these ideals today. We are running out of time so let's get to work. 



And may the best man, woman, idea and plan win.
