A few more thoughts as we head into November, in order of priority:
1. Election denialism is a killer of my support for any candidate
2. Support for climate policy and more regulation on emissions and support for clean tech, etc. Drill baby drill is a killer for my support
3. Growth oriented economic policy and little to moderate regulation depending on the domain. Focus on economic mobility as a policy goal
4. Prioritize equity in society and caring for the bottom 25%ย
5. Confront Xi/Putin as part of our long term interests. Don't trust; confront but still collaborate where possible
6. America as a country will not be well served to be isolationist; should show ethical leadership as a part of global society
7. Increase legal immigration and get tougher on border security
