 Move America to 100% clean and renewable energy
who could argue against that? Answer: Only those paying for it.
 Create millions of family supporting-wage, union jobs
who would oppose that? Answer: Not addressing immigration and identity theft one could reasonably argue family-supporting wages would not be adequate. Why would you need a union in this utopia you described?
 Ensure a just transition for all communities and workers to
ensure economic security for people and communities that have
historically relied on fossil fuel industries
nothing wrong with that. Answer: If you thought the dust bowl era for those communities was bad, this would be worse. Let's focus instead on helping the disadvantaged now in our communities.
 Ensure justice and equity for frontline communities by
prioritizing investment, training, climate and community
resiliency, economic and environmental benefits in these
communities. Who is not for that? Answer: Only those who are exempt from the blunt force trauma those regulations would create.
 Build on FDR’s second bill of rights by guaranteeing:
 A job with a family-sustaining wage, family and medical
leave, vacations, and retirement security
sounds good. Answer: FDR's new deal expanded the federal government to what is it today. This would be government extended into every facet of your life. No freedom.
 High-quality education, including higher education and
trade schools sounds good. Answer: Is this the British model where your education scores determine your future?
 Clean air and water and access to nature sweet. Answer: Better living thru chemistry didn't work out as planned. But this is an area that can be worked on.

 Healthy food fantastic Answer: you can choose this now.
 High-quality health care nice Answer: Access to affordable high-quality health care would be better.
 Safe, affordable, adequate housing fabulous. Answer. Start in California and show the rest of the nation how well that works first.
 Economic environment free of monopolies laudable. Answer: Tax the rich, feed the poor until there are no rich no more!
 Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work and here it falls apart because that is dead wrong. Answer: Let's see an example of this first and how well that is accepted. When producers stop producing then what?
