I just turned 35 and I was thinking about all of the negatives of getting older, and lower car insurance rates were not a benefit I would trade for youth. Upon reflection of isolation and getting Covid this week I realized that I had forgotten one of the rights I had gained. Look out America, I can run for President of the United States now!
So with that newfound opportunity, and some isolation free time, I decided to pen my platform for running in 2024. I’m a newcomer to the political scene so I have no special interests vying for my candidacy, although if you have read anything on this page you would know I will be running as a Democrat.
Son of two wonderful teachers from northwest Ohio, I am already a higher probability candidate than Biden is for re-election, so humor me at least. My platform will be based on liberal principals that I think the entire country could benefit from, not just the blue states. While I support the current president, I think it is unlikely he will be re-elected.
First, I will promote legislation for a national abortion rights bill, so that all women in the United States can be capable of planning their lives like men are. Part of this legislation will include funding for proper sexual education in schools to prevent unwanted pregnancies, preventing abortions from happening at all is a priority. It will also provide assistance to young women making a difficult, life changing health decision who cannot provide it for themselves.
Second, we will endeavor to prevent union busting practices from taking place, so that workers in this country can re-establish their sovereignty. The erosion of labor representation has caused the quality of life in this country to devolve since the years of Reagan and subsequent leaders to the point that people need to reimagine their workplace.
Third, In accordance with the Paris climate accord that we currently abide by, but can be stripped with a change in political power in Washington we will promote the conversion to green energy. The infrastructure of this country needs to be updated to support electric vehicles. Although this may not please all liberals, nuclear energy in safe areas will need to be a part of the transition to the next phase of our energy economy. When regulated, this is a far safer source of the energy that we need than fracking, and is essential to our independence from other sources.
That’s my starting point, I don’t feel that any of these proposals are unreasonable, and I think they would benefit most Americans. This is a simple proposal of ideas for my candidacy that will never happen, as I have no support as of yet. So far I have taken no contributions from anyone, but if you wanna buy me a beer, I’m your candidate.
