It's time for democrats to create their own "Project 2025" (www.reddit.com)

It seems as though there is no unified movement right now on the left (besides a few powerful leaders), but instead a deafening lack of action. The time is NOW for leaders to start planning for the next election, not 2027 or 2028. Can we start calling congressional democrats to request that they start drafting a plan, especially one that ensures an administration like this can never occur in the USA again? Most of them sure don’t seem busy with standing up to what is happening right now, so the least they could do is help catalyze change within the Democratic Party. It is time to redefine, as conservative democracy is no match to the MAGA movement.

Yeah Project 2025 is a modern Mein Kampf. That isn't hyperbole.

Opposition does need a plan, but branding is important.

We need a different term. We should get a book of plans like Project 2025, but without the fascism.

That's what OP means, right?

What would you call a Democrat's Project 2025, without calling it a Democrat's Project 2025?

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If I was just pitching the idea like OP does, I'd call it this, because it makes it easy to understand. If I meant it seriously and wanted to make a team to start working on it, I'd find a name for it in consultation with the originating team. The first thing I would definitely change would be the year.

No like, what type of document is this? Wikipedia calls it a "political initiative," so do Democrats create a "political initiative?"

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

I think you could call it that. I think democrats would need a long-term strategic plan now. Just an equivalent of Project 2025 is not enough. The GOP was working hard to gerrymander and whatnot for a long time. Now they won't hesitate to make any other changes so that the democrats can't win in the future. They need to come up with a sneaky strategy of how to get to power despite the fact that the system will be adjusted not to allow them.
