Build a giant net on the border with Canada to keep geese out.
Make Friday part of the weekend.
Give every new baby a chocolate eclair.
Issue bulletproof vests to all citizens to help survive mass shootings.
No more speed limits in Interstate highways. (Okay, absurd ones are harder to think of than real issues that people care about.)
Cheaper health care.
Cheaper housing.
Cheaper groceries.
Cheaper fuel.
Codify reproductive freedom in law.
Hold the media accountable to the truth.
Ban insider trading in Congress.
Ensure that people have secure jobs, with dignity.

Details, schmetails. The post is a complaint by Robert Reich that voters aren't paying attention to details. And ITT, plenty of Lemmings pointing out that Biden can't pass very many policy proposals, anyway. The idea is to sell the perception that Democrats understand and care about issues facing Americans.

The big picture comes first to get Democrats elected, then get down to the details.
