OK,
@Orion Bailey, here's what I have to say:
If you want peace, prosperity, and social progress, you would vote Democratic.
And I can prove it to you:
The Clinton years, the 90s, gave us that. No war, and balanced budget to boot (due to a budget that every Republican voted against.) He gave W. a
surplus. W. not only wasted that surplus on a silly tax cut for the rich, but when we were attacked by Al Qaeda, W invaded the wrong country, Iraq, giving us two endless wars.
So during the Clinton years was also the Internet age. Anyone who talks serious about the historical economical scale of our country puts major emphasis on that when discussing how robust the economy was during Clinton's run.
However, this has nothing to do with my question about a plan. This is simply pointing fingers about the past.
The GOP wastes money and gets us into war. Every time.
Really? Looks like you are wrong there....want to check this out and get back to me?
Oh. And this again has nothing to do with my question about a plan for the future....

In addition, W was horrible during Katrina, and when the world economy was on the brink of collapse, it took the incoming Obama admin to make the hard calls, save the auto industry, bail out the banks, and keep us out of a depression. Obama also gave us Obamacae, which despite its faults, is popular and keeps millions insured. Yes, his economic recovery was tepid, but at least we slowed down Iran's building of a bomb by 15 years - Trump's policy ended it at 5 years.
No doubt Bush was a terrible president in many ways. I'm sure if we dig, we can find a few things that were positive he did, but not worth squabbling over. We are in agreement. He was bad. Im sure if I did some searching I cold find some pretty bad democratic presidents too, but I wont turn every comment into a link response.
Aside from Trump's obvious and deep personal and political flaws, what do we have? Attacking our allies, N. Korea closer to a bomb, Iran closer to a bomb, NATO in disarray, xenpohobia and anti-semitism on the rise at home. Yes, no doubt the economy is strong, but the deficit is crazy big now and the GOP no longer stands for anything that it used to - fiscal constraint, strong defense, respect for tradition, prudence. The GOP loves Russia now for crying out loud.
That is alot to go over in one sentence, each part having its own set of complicated factions.
debt being crazy big? Its sharpest recent incline was when Obama was in office per this grid:
from 2008 -2011 or so, you see the sharpest incline. Then from there it moderates considerably into a steady incline. No doubt it needs to be a high priority for any admin to focus on, but to say it is just the GOP is incorrect per this grid.
What does N Korea being closer to a nuke have any relevance? They have been trying to build one for decades. Are you implying Trump is aiding or facilitating an expedition for them?

I addressed a couple of topics in that portion of your post, but will not address every one for time reasons, but serious.
Again.
None of this has any relevance on my question about a better plan. I'm not sure what you are claiming to prove here, but it has proven nothing to me so far as to the relevant answer to my question, show me a better plan. a plan of ideals and political guidelines that would help us as a country moving forward?
With the Republicans, you always get budget busting and wars, because that's where their profit is. Dems fix the problems the GOP make.
Again, See the grid above. Your comment on the budget is incorrect and i'm willing to bet if I did a search of Democratic presidents who have got us, or been involved in conflicts/wears, there would be multiple. But may I ask . What part of this isa plan to help us move positively into the future?
With a Democrat, you would get expanded health care options (but no, no medicare for all, that would never pass.) You would get a more normal alliance driven foreign policy, Putin in check, leaders would not laugh at the president in summits, the rich would be taxed more, consumers would be given more of a voice, the middle class would truly be the concern, not the richest of the rich, bigots, anti-semites, and racists would not be called “very good people on the other side.”
Okay. Now here you go. This is hinting at what might be better for the future if I were to vote on the democratic line. So . expanded health care, but no medicare for all. Hmm. Sounds okay on the surface, but I need to see details. One of the reason I lean towards the republicans is because of this topic. I don't want universal health care. I am all for government aid to those in need due to uncontrollable circumstances and I do get that there are areas that are very gray and would need to be analyzed and thought out in detail to make sure where the line is in regards long term health issues. Cancer. Was it caused by 30 years of chain smoking, basically a long term self inflicted suicide, or is it breast cancer to a healthy and health conscious female?
My point is I don't want to be stuck with a higher tax bill because now i'm paying for the health care of a bunch of people with poor health due to living the American dream and being lazy and sitting on the couch all day with a bag of freetos and a six pack of jolt and a netflix marathon.
I'm all for spending the money and time to restructure the health care system in this country and giving the government more control, but only as long as it is written up in a very detailed and scrutinized way that can accurately differentiate between who is deserving and who brought their suffering on themselves in an acknowledged, conscious and prolonged manner. Guy makes a mistake rock climbing and falls, He should receive the care he needs. If a person chooses to hang out in a casino drinking and smoking all day and night and comes down with a diseases link and attributed to the lifestyle they chose, then they are own their own.
And of course, and not least, climate change would be given the urgent priority that it requires.
Sounds 1000% better to me.
Climate change or not, I think taking better care of our surroundings should be a focus of both parties, current and future admins. Whether we actually have a long lasting carbon footprint on this planets future or not, why the fuck do we like to piss in our own backyard? Every man, woman, child, city, state and country should do the best they can to recycle what they can and reduce their imprint on nature, within reason of living ones life.
In this, I agree, that's sounds 1000% times better to me, and i'm not in agreement with the recent loosening of some of our ecological laws we had, allowing for a higher level of emissions and pollution. This, in my opinion was not a good move.
All in all, I didn't really come to understand any type of plan for the future you might have been trying to line out, however I did comment on a couple of topics you toughed upon, though without much of any in depth plan on how to do it, or links to candidates who can explain how they would implement such an ideology as healthcare for most. Or any thoughts on how to balance the budget without huge tax increases or major spending cuts?
Most of what you said sounded fantastic in its own little soundbite on its own. The magic ten words to sell off of. Its the next ten i'm looking for. HOW will you make these things come into fruition . What is the plan of action, angle or pathway to achieve these statements of future greatness?
That's what i'm looking for.
