NO GUNS
Here's where the 2020 Democrats stand on gun control......ABC News (Feb 2020)
“In her presidential plan, Warren echoed Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., in pledging to act on gun control within her first 100 days through executive action. Harris, too, has since ended her presidential bid.”
We Surveyed the 2020 Democrats on Gun Control. Here Are the New Dividing Lines.
“All 19 candidates support an assault weapons ban. The biggest disagreement: whether people who already own those weapons should be required to sell them to the government, or simply given the option to do so. There is also some support for a federal gun registry, an idea that many Democrats used to dismiss exasperatedly as gun-lobby scaremongering.“
NO POLICE, ELIMINATE MILITARY
US Democrats introduce sweeping legislation to reform police......BBC June 2020
“The call to disband the police in Minneapolis, while largely symbolic at this point, could indicate that sweeping changes are very real possibility - with or without federal guidance.
This could be the beginning of series of local experiments in policing reform that take very different forms in different parts of the US.“
These Top Democrats Go Further Than Biden on Diverting Police Funds
ABOLISH THE CONSTITUTION
Democrats Abandon the Constitution...... claim the Electoral College, Senate and judiciary are illegitimate......WSJ (October 2018)

DEMOCRATS VOTED TO REPEAL FIRST AMENDMENT
Progressive Democrats want the U.S. Constitution to go......Mercury News (September 2019)
“They’ve been after the Second Amendment for years. They wish to eliminate the Electoral College. In California, the First Amendment does not apply to anyone who disagrees with their leftist views.
Separation of church and state? Cities and municipalities are trying to ban Chick-Fil-A because the owners dare to support organizations that reflect their Christian values. So much for freedom of religion.”
REMOVE & REPLACE US FLAG
Don’t know much about this, doubt it’s a true concern!
INVOKE NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM
Majority doesn’t want the national anthem to be changed......YouGov (July 2020)
Some Americans call for replacement of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ with new national anthem......ABC 27 (June 2020)
***not a real concern of mine!
REMOVE ALL REFERENCES TO GOD

ABOLISH PRIVATE HEALTHCARE
Medicare for All Would Abolish Private Insurance. ‘There’s No Precedent in American History.’......New York Times (March 2019)
“At the heart of the “Medicare for all”
proposals championed by Senator Bernie Sanders and many Democrats is a revolutionary idea: Abolish private health insurance.”
Medicare for All Instead of Private Health Insurance? Question Vexes 2020 Democrats......WSJ (July 2019)
“But in the second set of Democratic debates, on Tuesday and Wednesday, front-runners backing
Medicare for All will likely have to defend their pledges to take private health insurance away in the process.”
PROMOTE ABORTIONS OF BABIES
Fact-check: Do Democrats support abortion up until (and after) birth?......Statesman (February 2020)
“ Republican lawmakers questioned the bill's sponsor on the scope of the proposal, asking whether the measure would allow a woman who is dilating to get a abortion.
"My bill would allow that," said Democratic lawmaker Kathy Tran. "Yes."
On Late-Term Abortion, 2020 Democrats Are to the Left Even of Obama in 2008......NationalReview (July 2019)
“Do you believe a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy up until the moment of birth?” Martha MacCallum asked Bernie Sanders at a Fox News town hall. “I think that that happens very, very rarely,” Sanders replied, before concluding: “
The decision over abortion belongs to a woman and her physician, not the federal government, not the state government.”
