Pushing a bunch of new programs through in the first two years would be a bad political mistake in my opinion.

I doubt Democrats will have the time or energy to do much but fix all the stuff Trump has broken during their first two years. Maybe in the second half, but Democratic (especially mainstream Democratic) ideas are not all that radical. Maybe we get ACA fixed, Medicare expanded in more states, and a public option. But those only affect the people who need them. It wouldn't be like Medicare For All or giving everybody a minimum income.

I guess "free college" is the other big green idea: But I think that can happen very gradually, through existing programs. What we end up with is reduced tuition at state colleges and universities for students with good GPAs. Rather like what we had in the 1950 - 2000 era.
