If Sanders gets his agenda through, what causes will Progressive champion?

[I support Sanders]

In no particular order, once the Sanders coalition succeeds in implementing a $15 minimum wage, Medicare-for-all (including dental and vision), and universal free college education (up to, and including, graduate school):

1.) Amending the Constitution to stipulate that money is not speech and corporations are not people
2.) Raise the marginal income rate to at least 50%
3.) End military involvement overseas
4.) Earned income tax credits
5.) Guaranteed annual income of at least $20,000 a year AND/OR creating a citizens' dividend by redistributing money from natural resources such as coal and oil, as Sarah Palin did in Alaska.
7.) Legalize, tax, and regulate all drugs
8.) Legalize prostitution and gambling
9.) Universal gun background checks and mental health assessments
10.) 2 weeks of mandated paid family leave, and 1 week of mandated PTO (including sick leave and vacation time); make Election Day a national holiday.
11.) Reduce unemployment to <1% by the government acting as the employer of last resort, putting people to work (at competitive wage rates and with good benefits) rebuilding infrastructure, including investing in jobs in solar, wind, hydro/tidal, geothermal, nuclear, and biomass energy, while we slowly reduce dependence on oil and coal.

If the unlikely happens, and Bernie Sanders is able to get through Congress Single Payer Health Care, Tuition Free College, $15 Minimum Wage, etc. what will Progressives/Leftists rally around? What new causes or laws will they want implemented?

If Hillary and/or Bernie were able to get the most progressive version of all of their combined plans passed (since Hillary is more progressive on some things than Bernie)... miraculously...


It would be under attack worse than ObamaCare and would need defending.


Honestly, the ultimate purpose of a progressive is to become a conservative.

Get everything implemented, keep it well-defended, and run on keeping things the same from then on.

This stuff is either...
1. Already advocated by Sanders and/or Hillary
OR
2. Just socialist for the sake of being socialist, with near-zero support.

Well, I was just speaking for myself. Clinton advocates points 9 and 10; Bernie advocates most of the rest. Some of the other points were just examples that came to my mind in response to the question.
