Project 2025 is a modern Mein Kampf, so responding to that by effectively saying "I'm gonna make my own Mein Kampf! With blackjack! And hookers!" is maybe not the best approach here.

Make a plan for sure, but JFC give a second of thought to the branding.

So here's my idea: don't fucking call it "Project 2029"

Agreed. The last thing I want is the Democratic Party emulating the Republicans. Their party is about 1 vision (at the exclusion of others). Dems should focus on recapturing patriotism & “American values & stories,” like democracy, inclusion of others, or the historical immigrant story of many people.

I barely identify as a democrat due to their lack of moral conviction or care for bread & butter issues. Dems focused too much on identity politics, with social polices now being easily eroded, rather than making gains with working people. Too much money / neoliberal bullshit clouding the judgment.

Awww that's so sweet of you? You really believe you'll be voting in 2028?

For how things are going, there are two possibilities right now:

Mango Hitler decides to become king. So goodbye real elections, welcome Russian-style elections.

Or you start a civil war to get rid of the nazis in the white house. And goodbye elections because until you solve the war, you won't be voting.

If you really think they'll pacifically leave the power in 2028 after being voted out, you are delusional.

You don't vote out Nazis. It's unfortunate, but there will be a significant human toll.

I'm certainly going to try but I am not betting on it being a time of peaceful prosperity.

There's still a small chance Trump dies and the fascists devour themselves infighting over the crown. Probably not likely, but a guy can dream.

You need to get some fresh air. Maybe take a few days off from the internet.

but Liberal Promise is an oxymoron. The exact oxymoron that got us in this god-forsaken situation in the first place. granted they called it "keeping the status quo" which is far worse

Pass a resolution declaring Jan 6th an insurrection against the United States then annul Trumps Presidency because he was constitutionally forbidden from being president. Remove the republican Supreme Court justices for aiding in insurrection by interfering with trumps prosecution.
