(the last year of Kamala's second term!)
Envision a future where there is no red America and there is no blue America — because the Democrats got so damn popular that all the Republicans had no choice but to join in the fun! What does this united America look like, and how do we build a path to this political destiny?
Popularity is more than a numbers game; it is anchored in the potency of our message, our boldness, and our capacity to unite Americans from opposing perspectives.
By Mike Reid | September 2024
Picture this — it's 2032 and Democrats control over 90% of Congress. Even die-hard Republicans couldn't help but join the blue team. Lindsey Graham? Yes, even he's a Democrat in 2032!
What a wild ride it's been, and how did we get here?
The journey begins in January 2025, with Kamala Harris having defeated Trump and the Democrats at a crossroads — already grappling with the puzzle facing the party in the 2026 midterms.
Because in the first midterms of the last three Democratic presidents — Bill Clinton in 1994, Barack Obama in 2010, and Joe Biden in 2022 — the party gave up control of the House, making passing progressive legislation much more difficult thereafter.
The reverse thing also happened to Donald Trump in 2018, when Democrats won big that year.
But what if, in 2025 — right after we defeat Donald Trump and regain control of the House — Democrats learned from history, avoided the mistakes of the last three Democratic presidents, and created a party that everyone in America could happily identify with, regardless of their beliefs on controversial political topics?
The unthinkable will become reality, with even the most ardent Republicans like Ron DeSantis — and ultimately, yes, even Donald Trump himself — crossing the aisle and embracing our bold new, hyper-inclusive Democratic vision.
With this newly formed political alliance, the United States will begin a period of unprecedented political unity and cooperation.
Congressional gridlock? A thing of the past!
Bitter infighting? Gone like the wind!
Instead, the country will be bustling with progress on key issues, fostering a sense of pride and optimism that spreads like wildfire.
2025 Projects:
With the Democrats in control, the nation will see its democracy flourish like never before. Decisions will be made with the greater good in mind, rather than the interests of a select few.
One of the most ambitious and eagerly anticipated projects will be the nationwide high-speed rail network. This state-of-the-art system will connect cities and towns across the country, allowing for faster, more efficient transportation.
With energy-efficient trains zipping along at speeds of up to 220 mph, cross-country travel will become a breeze, significantly reducing the nation's reliance on automobiles and air travel.
As part of the commitment to a greener, more sustainable future, several cities will create car-free zones in their urban centers.
These pedestrian-friendly areas will prioritize walking, cycling, and public transportation, reducing congestion, noise pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
The repurposing of downtown areas will thrilling for all, as cities across the nation reimagine their urban landscapes.
This once-unthinkable vision of a blue America, complete with its most famous Republican converts, will serve as a heartening reminder of the power of unity and collaboration. Progress and fun will go hand in hand, and the possibilities will be endless.
Of course, we'll have our fair share of challenges along the way, but the spirit of cooperation will ultimately prevail, allowing Americans to overcome even the most daunting of obstacles.
In 2032, political debates will have evolved from angry battles to constructive conversations, where everyone's voice is heard and respected. The nation will be a place where collaboration is the key to electoral victory.
And so, as we look to the future, we find ourselves inspired.
In this vision of the future, we are reminded that when we come together as one, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
This future-focused version of America in 2032 serves as an example of what can be achieved when cooperation prevails.
By coming together and embracing a shared vision for a more sustainable and prosperous nation, Americans can overcome their differences and build a brighter future for everyone.
So let's keep dreaming big, embracing the power of unity, and working together to build a future where everyone has a chance to thrive — Democrats, Republicans, and everyone in between.
