To win back support, the Democratic candidate must offer a positive and coherent vision centered on care and progressive policies, rather than relying solely on anti-Trump rhetoric.

    I didn’t care about a progressive project 2025. I want guardrails that neuter project 2025 from being an effective project 2029.

    Voters have very short memories and Cheeto Mussolini losing doesn’t mean that this repugnant bullshit won’t be enacted in the future.

    We need federal court reform.

    Protections for non appointed federal employees.

    Protections for women’s health.

    Protections for voting rights.

    Protections for religions (of and from).

    And probably dozens of other things to make sure project 2025 doesn’t become project 2029.

    We cannot wait for the religious right to act before we respond. We have to respond now. They have shown us their hand and they think we are too weak to stop them. It is time we relegate their views and ideals to the trash heap in which they belong.

      Could we also do something about not allowing propaganda to be called “news”? I realize that’s dicey with the 1st amendment, but we’ve got some smart people that should be able to figure something out.

        As much as it gets under my skin that people would rot their life away watching propaganda, at the end of the day it’s their choice. Don’t take peoples freedoms to consume content
