Every single one of those will take about a decade in court battles to get passed (at a federal level). It could be quicker if you figure out how to introduce legislature on a state-level, but that is an incredibly volatile strategy (every state's billionaires will fight against it). Many, if not all, will lose out unless you strategize grass-roots movements for every single one of those issues. People love cops. People love blaming poor people. People love blaming others on their problems. No legislature of yours will fix that, so you also need to fix societal issues.
Just saying, this is what people say when they talk about idealism over pragmatism. It's great to have big ideas, but you need exponentially larger ideas on strategizing to prevent those ideas from failing. None of this will happen overnight unless something revolutionary happens, and Democrats don't want that---they will fight against radical change, it goes against the party's entire ideology. Measured, temperate, incremental change is the policy of the Democrats. These are incredibly radical ideas to the normal voting population and you have to convince them, not us autists on lemmy, that they are worth spending time and energy on instead of putting food on the table or stressing out on bills.
They're all great ideas that should work in theory and probably would in practice in many ways, but having good ideas isn't what gets votes. Having a plan all while appealing to low information voters (absolutely necessary, and is what destroys this world at the moment unfortunately and no new law will fix that) is the name of the game.
