  • Free universal pre-K for all children

  • Paid sick and family leave for all workers

  • Less expensive prescription drugs for everyone

  • Rebuilding the nation's infrastructure so all can use it

  • Republicans have opposed literally every single one of these things (although a handful of Republicans voted for the "bipartisan" infrastructure bill because it has hundreds of billions in corporate subsidies built into it, the price they extracted for their support).

    Meanwhile, in addition to opposing all of the above, Republicans are promising their white voters they will:

    • Stop teaching the history of Black and Native peoples in schools

    • Build a wall on our southern border to stop Brown people from entering

    • Change voting laws to cut back on hours and locations in Black neighborhoods, making for multi-hour waits to vote

    • Push "School choice" so white families can send their kids to all-white schools

    • Put in more tax cuts for 99% white billionaires and 90%+ white-male-run giant corporations

    • Defend white supremacy militias (or at least promise to ignore their threats and crimes)

    • Loosen gun laws so we'll have more and deadlier weapons of war on our streets

    • Promote hate and fear of Muslims and other mostly non-white religions and minorities

    • Reduce criminal penalties for injuring or killing protesters with cars

    • Eliminate criminal penalties for intimidating people with open-carry guns
