      That would require him to understand the plan. He doesn’t care about the plan, he just wants to win and will promise whatever to get it.

      This plan is being drafted by those who figure they will be in the room with President Trump after the election.

          Who KNOW they’ll be in the room.

          Not going to argue that

          He knows what it is.

          Maybe in the vaguest sense. He doesn’t know the details because he doesn’t care and he didn’t write the thing. I’m not defending Trump; I just think he doesn’t care what he promises as long as he is President.

      This is what absolutely any competent debater would have asked him, in front of a national audience. Sadly, the moment has passed. Still think he’s our guy!?

          I genuinely appreciate the honesty. Like many, I will vote for a baggy full of bees to stop Trump, so I guess I will be voting for Biden…

          A reminder for others who say this is “not the right time to change candidates/switch horses/whatever”: this is exactly the time for the option to at least be explored. Until Ohio has Biden on the ballot, it can be changed, so this is quite literally the only time this can be corrected. I would 1000x more rather be alarmist and wrong than to stick with Biden and suffer Trump and the possible end of our democracy. But those are the stakes…

    Why Democrats are not putting project 2025 front and center in their attacks on R’s is beyond me.

      It is very strange and alarming that project 2025 is this huge fucking problem that no one is truly addressing in any formal way.

      I mean, the people behind it are essentially wealthy domestic terrorists who keep paying off the Supreme Court with “gratuities.” Someone needs to put a stop to this blatant display of corruption and fascism. I don’t understand what’s taking so long.

        It’s a large complex document and we are a simple, overworked, undereducated and frightened people, on the whole. Start circulating this graphic to help make it a simpler consideration of how the specific dangers will directly impact different populations. Chances are good there’s at least one on the list that each person you share with would care about.

        We can’t get upset at politicians for what we are failing to pay attention to. The democrats are working against it.

        democrats.org

        AP

        Axios

        Now, if the concern is “why hasn’t anything worked to fully dismantle this plan”, the answer is that it’s a well-crafted (albeit evil) plan made over decades. It’s not going to have Death Star exhaust ports for the right Democrat Skywalker to shoot a pulse into. It’s going to take a concerted, unified, lengthy effort from politicians and the voters to defeat it. All good things do.

        The poster above gave you a great infographic and there are others online. The route forward involves us sharing with others, collaborating on strategic voting, and forming plans to help the vulnerable around us in the event that it comes to pass. It is stressful, but know you’re sharing that with a ton of people right now.

        Because it’s not meant for them so they don’t announce it like that, it’s meant for the big donors

          It just highlights that republicans almost universally have no idea what they’re voting for

    What made him decide he needed to placate the centrists? Internal polling not doing so great? Trying to backtrack that total abortion ban? Watch out the qnuts might decide to go with Kennedy.

      The terroristic threats in this one are a good way to get a visit from a three letter agency.
