How badly do we want it? (#4305)

      The senate runoff races in Georgia will go a long way toward defining this moment in time. Will we go back to getting nowhere like the last 4 years or will we leap into our new future with our grasp on the wheel? The coming elections in Georgia will tell us all we need to know by the end of counting the votes there after the election on January 5, 2021. The importance to we democrats is immense and the importance to republicans is that they will be able to continue to stifle progressive legislation. If on the other hand we democrats force our will and take those senate races then the real change to America will begin.
     Let me list some of the ways. The national minimum wage will increase to a livable one like at least $15 and hour. The health care law that is always under attack from republicans can be expanded and made ready for all to secure. Campaign finance laws will be remade to stop dark money from entering our elections. Civil rights adjustments to secure the vote for all Americans can finally be implemented. Equal pay for equal work as applied to women will also become the law of the land. A much needed stimulus package to aid all of us in varying ways to protect us from the ravages of the unchecked trump Covid-19 virus. Immigration reform that solidifies dreamers to a pathway for citizenship as well as their parents.
     Setting up an infrastructure plan that transitions us to green energy and making efficient dirty energy until it can be phased out. The job creation alone will help revitalize our society into a much larger middle class. Of course most of this is contingent upon removing the Covid-19 threat with a national plan of attack, as we democrats have a fluid plan to apply. The gun violence and racial inequality issues are also front and center of our agenda and creating opportunities for justice to be applied when violators are caught and tried. The future will either be solving problems or letting them simmer. The 2 senate races in Georgia will tell us all we need to know once they are voted on.
