It's most likely that it will be politics as usual. It always is. How do we move the center? Not sure.

But I also have a theory that she may be a bit of a trojan horse. I don't have a lot to base it on, other than a gut feeling. She had more progressive policy proposals the first time she ran for prez, but she can't express those now. The voting public currently is pretty far to the right.

Evanston, Illinois has a reparations program. I don't know much about it, but you might want to check it out. Chicago is talking about one. Brandon Johnson's just the type of guy who may be able to pull it off.

I don't know what reparations should look like other than the people who should come up with proposals should be exclusively African Americans.

If Trump wins, which I don't think is going to happen, I may have to resharpen my software skills for the resistance hackathon that follows. Or something. I'd rather not think of the possibility until/if it happens.
