Memo: The American people want “substantial change.” A new AP-NORC poll reports that most voters want major change in Washington ahead of this year’s midterms. The poll reports that a combined 80% of registered voter respondents said they want either “complete and total upheaval” or “substantial change” in the way the country is run — including 97% of Democrats, 90% of independents and 58% of Republicans. If the Democratic Party thinks that they can just tinker around the edges once they take control of Congress, guess again. The American people have had enough. No more failed establishment status quo policies. The American people want change, REAL change and an agenda that works for the working families of our country. That means, among other things, passing: - Medicare for All - An annual 5% wealth tax on billionaires - The elimination of a corrupt campaign finance system - Raising the minimum wage to at least $20 an hour - Expanding Social Security by scrapping the cap - Free tuition at public colleges and medical and nursing schools - Universal childcare - Building 7 million affordable homes & apartments - A moratorium on AI data centers - An end to never-ending wars and U.S. support for the extremist Israeli government The American people have had enough. They want a government that delivers for working families, not just the 1%. The Democrats must deliver.
