Woof. Talk about piledriving the US economy. This stuff isn't working for Europe and would fail twice as hard here.

Taxation You really won't like the effect this has on 401(k)s and the speed brake you'll apply to the economy.

Border security We've discussed this at length. This is basically a quasi-legal way of throwing open the gates again.

Foreign policy all-up It's fallacious to say we engage in no diplomacy or don't encourage foreign ties today. Trump's gone out and gotten loads of pledges from foreign partners for capital investments already.

Policing and public safety Yikes. Without disincentives to commit crimes...you get more crimes.

"Affordability" There's a reason Rent Control is taught in literally every econ course in accredited universities.

Healthcare Yeah, no. 1) Unaffordable 2) fastest way to kill quality of care. Ask the Brits.

The economy in general so more wealth transfers and disincentives for business/job creators plus top-down control.

National security & International diplomacy lol. Come on, man. The Europeans have *zero* interest in opposing China especially when they can barely be bothered to defend themselves against Russia.

See? That's off the top of my head, with very little time spent to delve into the specific policy proposals that underlie each of those broad categories. None of those are Trumpian approaches to the issues. None of them reflect the full breadth of different approaches to those things on the Democratic side (Bernie Sanders has a very different idea than Ezra Klein on most things).

No, but these are all Excellent examples of the microwaved sardine sandwich analogy!

Again, I don't know why you keep saying there's no ideas out there.

There are no *good* democrat ideas and your response(s) are Exhibits A-J. No offense, but literally everything you said above is not only provably bad, but if implemented en toto would Piledrive large sectors of the American economy for decades to come.
