So what Should the "Progressive Agenda" be? Many conservatives insist that Democrats and other Progressives don't have a plan--this is a defect to them and frankly, to many in the murky middle. To be fair, being the "other brand" does not make a compelling reason for people to "buy" Progressivism. so lets give them some meat.
Add your favorite goals, then we'll work back to how to accomplish them (aka "meat"). I'll start:
1) Making a more peaceful world
- limit our nuclear arsenal and update non-nuclear arms treaties
- work within the international community to limit other nations from becoming nuclear
- support the efforts of the UN
- use our foreign aid to raise the standard of living for those living in poverty around the world and at home
- work to promote fair trade over free trade within the WTO
- Forgive debts of the poorest 10% of nations.
- Unilaterally withdraw fromIraq and join a multinational UN run peacekkeeping coalition
- Engage in multinational negotiations with North Korea and Iran.
