What the democrats’ platform should be, but isn’t (despite the fact that much of it isn’t financially feasible):
Universal healthcare via the single payer model (no insurance companies, all public run).
Universal pre-k/daycare for all pre-school aged children so that parents can go back to work after parental leave is expended.)
Universal public schools (all public, no private schools, no tuition, free lunch for all students)
Universal higher education (all public, no tuition, access based on merit/ability)
More european style standards of leave for workers (guaranteed maternity leave, more guaranteed vacation days, stronger worker protections).
Retirement benefits guaranteed by government rather than private employers.
Environmentalism focused on combating pollution, public health, sustainable resources, conservation of wild places, and maintaining biodiversity
Equal rights for all/equal treatment under the law for all citizens.
Reforming immigration to make legal immigration far easier and faster through legal points of entry, with clear paths to citizenship for illegals who pay taxes and don’t commit violent crimes, with strong border control and enforcement.
Harmonizing product regulations with the EU to allow for easier trade relations. The goal would be to gradually move towards a more Schengen like relationship between the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, NZ, and Continental Europe.
Improving nationwide mass transit and building regional high speed rail to connect feasible hubs (Texas Triangle, Pacific Coast, Midwest cities, Florida, etc). Then, integrating those regional systems with AMTRAK and local transit systems to make car-free travel more feasible for more people.
Reforming zoning laws to improve walkability and increase urban density to make cities more accessible and reduce the housing crisis.
What democrats actually care about:
Illegal immigrants
Foreign governments
Outlawing cars
Making electricity unaffordable for citizens
Taking away citizens rights to defend themselves from criminals and government
Empowering gangs
Destroying pension systems
Confiscating private property for public housing
De-growth
Discouraging wypipo from reproducing
Changing children’s genders
Promoting incompetence and punishing success
Eliminating free speech
Authoritarian surveillance state
Jailing political dissidents
Deplatforming and debanking citizens st government direction without due process or due cause
Eliminating bail for violent and sexual offenders
Releasing violent and sexual offenders from prisons

Why these? These make no sense.
Why does legal immigration have to be easier and faster? The vetting process should be thorough. That generally means a lengthy process of background checks, compatibility checks, and a period of assimilation. It's like dating before marriage, not something that should be rushed into.
Car-free travel is essential? Are there other ways to achieve that? Why should the government be involved in this process?
Walkability and increased urbanization are good things? Are they things we should encourage? In the internet age when production is not as tied to a singular space, is urbanization still considered a priority?

Why these?
Because they are popular wants among democrat voters.
The focus is on government improving quality of life for urban citizens, you know most of the actual population. This serves (on its face) to improve the lives of the urban poor, eliminating big poverty trip-lines, and gives basic insurances against citizens descending into true squalor by circumstance rather than by choice.
For many of these proposals, the outcome is desirable by most people. The issue (aka, why I am not a Democrat) is that the means of implementing these ends would necessarily be destructive of individual liberty, and would require funding mechanisms that would not be economically feasible or sustainable long term.
quote:
Car-free travel is essential?
No, but car travel is expensive and highly pollutive. Car infrastructure takes up a lot of real estate. Car ownership is a major hurdle for poor people, especially when they need a vehicle to get to work, but need a job to purchase a vehicle. Living without a vehicle in an area where population density is low enough that basic jobs, groceries, etc are not accessible by a podestrian makes access to a vehicle nearly essential for living. The goal should not be to outlaw cars or punish vehicle owners. The idea should be to, where appropriate, make in-fill development of already urban areas easier. Keeping cities walkable or increasing walkability in cities makes access to services easier. It makes owning a car a convenience and a choice rather than an economic necessity. It is possible to have communities that are car-centric stay car centric, communities that are walkable stay walkable, and communities that are sorta in between to move towards one or the other depending on what the local population wants.
In addition, walking is a huge positive for public health.

They literally removed God from their platform at a convention obama years ago.

You said what it should be and made the list. Now you're saying what's popular.
The lives of "urban citizens" would be improved by getting out of the city. Where are the proposals that make that possible?

Yes, going against human nature and destroying individual liberty is a very expensive process.

Democratic leadership are basically plantation owners at this point.

Destroying the education system and indoctrinating children. Dumb kids become dumb adults who need big government.

I'm reading this as you believing that cars are the problem. Consider that urbanization may be the problem. Should "the poor" exist in an urban area? Policies that reduce land ownership in rural areas and entice people into urban areas to then exploit their labor seems to be the crux of all your issues with cars.

It won't be in their official platform but if they take power the first issue will be expanding the Supreme Court. The new nominees will be 10 IQ points below Ketanji Jackson.

They openly support post-birth abortion and surgical, tax-payer funded, transitioning of underage children without their parents' consent. Those are two pretty incomprehensible ones. You could throw in their record on unaccompanied illegal minors muled into our country by coyotes and sex traffickers.
Most of their policies on children should give any American with a family tremendous pause.

There has been one item on their platform for over 100 years. It is how they get so many to follow the insanity.
Buy votes with gifts from the public coffers.
